    CubsPS+ #107: Re-Doing Jed's Offseason with Sara Sanchez Apr 14, 2025
    Show notes

    Episode Summary:

    This week, I'm joined once again by Bleed Cubbie Blue's Sara Sanchez to run back one of their favorite offseason exercises: rebuilding Jed Hoyer’s winter—within real-world limits.

    No extra spending. No fantasy trade machines. Just the actual signings, the real budgets, and some sharper roster decisions. If Jed had done things a little differently… could this team have been even better heading into 2025?

    Let’s find out.

    🔍 What You’ll Hear This Episode:

    🧩 The Ground Rules

    • Every player must be signed at their actual 2024-25 deal
    • Total budget capped under the CBT
    • Cubs moves can be kept or replaced—but not rewritten
    • No hypothetical trades allowed (sorry, no Soto deals)

    🔄 The Kyle Tucker Trade: Keep It or Rewind?

    • Both hosts start with a shared assumption: Tucker stays
    • But what about the price—Cam Smith vs. Matt Shaw?
    • Is an extension now in the works… and what would it mean?

    ❌ Bellinger’s Future: On the Roster or Cashed Out?

    • One host keeps Bellinger—and uses him to deepen the bench
    • The other trades him—and spends the cash immediately
    • Two paths, two very different Cubs rosters

    🔥 Pitching Picks: Safe Bets or Big Swings?

    • One side goes bold with a top-of-market starter
    • The other builds depth with three arms for less money
    • Which bullpen duo did both agree on skipping?

    🎯 The Bullpen Fix

    • Forget Presley and Teelbar—there were better options out there
    • See who got signed, for how much, and who has closer experience
    • Did Jed aim too low when the Cubs needed late-inning reliability?

    🧢 Catcher Carousel: One Popular Signing Gets Swapped

    • One veteran got replaced by a proven glove-first backstop
    • Another move brings in more offense and framing
    • Who got cut? Who got trusted? And what about Amaya?

    📋 Bench Battles & Utility Choices

    • Gage Workman stays—but does he play?
    • One roster added a $1M corner bat
    • The other opted for a more versatile veteran with playoff chops

    🧮 Roster Recaps & Budget Check-Ins:

    💼 Rotation Headlines

    • Who brought in Walker Buehler on a 1-year prove-it deal?
    • Who bet on Cal Quantrill and a young core instead?

    🛠️ Bullpen Anchors

    • AJ Minter, Carlos Estévez, Chris Martin, Ryan Stanek…
    • Only a few were chosen—but which duo got the nod?

    🧠 Bench Construction

    • Why Ty France might be a better play than Justin Turner
    • Where Jonathan India slots into one version of the roster
    • Why keeping Alexander Canario could’ve changed the outfield picture

    🧾 Final Thoughts

    • What happens at the trade deadline if money’s still on the table?
    • Which reworked roster looks better on paper—and on the field?
    • And what would it take to make Kyle Tucker a Cub for life?

    Let us know which version of Jed’s offseason you would’ve chosen—and who nailed it in this exercise.
