Show notes
Alex Cohen of Marquee Network and the Iowa Cubs joins Bricks Behind the Ivy for a “State of the Union” on the Chicago Cubs. From key storylines in Triple-A to what’s next for the big-league club, we cover it all — prospects, pitching depth, trade deadline outlook, and the importance of July baseball.
We also go behind the mic with Alex to hear how broadcasting in Des Moines gives him a front-row seat to the Cubs’ future — and why he believes in what’s ahead at Wrigley Field.
🎙 A weekly Chicago Cubs podcast made by Cubs fans, for Cubs fans.
