Episode Notes

The Chicago Cubs are taking a chance on veteran reliever Liam Hendriks, signing the three-time All-Star to a Minor League deal as they look to strengthen their bullpen depth for the 2026 MLB season. Can Hendriks make a comeback and become a key late-inning weapon at Wrigley Field after stops with the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins? In this CHGO Cubs player preview, we break down what the 37-year-old right-hander still brings to the table, how he fits into Chicago’s pitching plans, and why this could be a sneaky low-risk move for the Cubs. Don’t miss the latest Cubs news, MLB roster updates, and analysis on Liam Hendriks’ path back to the major leagues.
