CCB #185: Hosmer Shmosmer on the Eve of Cubs Con Jan 09, 2023

CCB #183: Cubs Sign Swanson Avoid Correa Chaos Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Sara and Danny are talking all things Dansby Swanson who definitely makes the Cubs better, but probably not into contention just yet. They are also looking at the absolute debacle that had Carlos Correa's introductory press conference cancelled in San Francisco mere hours before he signed with the Mets who just don't seem to care about the luxury tax even a little bit at all. After the break they spend some time on the Cubs ZiPS projections and discuss rumors that the Cubs, yes, your Cubs might be the frontrunner for the top international free agent prospect, Fernando Cruz.

CCB #183: Hoyering Our Way to Existential Dread Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

Danny is back and all he and Sara can do is laugh as the Cubs have now missed out on pretty much every big free agent. They discuss Willson Contreras heading to the Cardinals (stick around to the end for Danny's newest Cubsmas song to commemorate the occasion), how the Cubs lost out on Christian Vázquez, the shortstop situation, the mixed messages on spending coming out of the Cubs front office, what they expect at Cubs Convention (boos that put Elon to shame), where to go if you want to join Danny for Cubs Caroling this year and more.

CCB #182: Willson Contreras is a Cardinal. This is Fine. Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

Willson Contreras is a Cardinal and while Danny is still doing post-nuptial stuff Sara is joined by Kevin McCaffrey from the Away Games Pod to try and figure out how the Cubs let their best hitter go to their biggest rival on a totally reasonable deal. They also talk about the chances that Hoyer and Co. will actually use the money that ownership is very publicly saying is available to them as the market goes absolutely bananas with an 11 year/$280 million deal that enticed Xander Bogaerts to leave Boston for San Diego. After the break they look at the Cody Bellinger signing and the fact that the Cubs will basically be paying $39.5 million in 2023 to see if they can fix Bellinger's swing while the Dodgers try to do the same for Jason Heyward. They finish up with the latest scandal on the literal baseball as Dr. Meredith Wills' new research on the ball indicates there were not two, but three different balls in 2022 and you will not believe where they wound up.
