CubsPS+ #114: Finally Doing Something Feb 15, 2026

Show notes

Episode 114 marks a reset for CubsPS+ and a simple theme: stop waiting for perfect and start doing something.

After a four-month break, I return to break down where the Chicago Cubs actually stand coming out of the offseason. This isn’t about hot takes or dramatic declarations — it’s about roster construction, identity, and what the Cubs’ moves (and non-moves) really signal.

In this episode, I discuss:

How to evaluate the Cubs’ offseason additions in context
A realistic look at the starting rotation and what it can (and can’t) be
Whether the Cubs are competing, bridging, or still recalibrating
The difference between incremental improvement and true direction
Why “doing something” matters — even when it’s not flashy

This is a thoughtful, process-driven look at the 2025 Chicago Cubs — where they are, what they’ve done, and what it might mean going forward.

CubsPS+ is part of Bleacher Bunch Productions on the Fans First Sports Network.
