Episode Notes

It’s almost Christmas — and Chicago Cubs fans are still waiting.

In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike asks the question every Cubs fan is thinking: What’s the hold up? Why haven’t the Cubs made a major move yet this offseason?

We break down the Cubs’ lack of urgency, evaluate the roster as it currently stands, and ask fans to grade the Cubs’ offseason so far. With clear needs still glaring, the clock is ticking.

The Cubs still need:
⚾ A middle-of-the-order bat
⚾ A shutdown closer
One or two starting pitchers

Names like Cody Bellinger, Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Pete Fairbanks, and Tatsuya Imai are all discussed as potential targets — but will the Cubs actually pull the trigger?

Are the Cubs being patient… or cheap?
Is this front office waiting for bargains while the division improves?
And how much longer can fans be expected to wait?

Drop your offseason grade in the comments and tell us what move HAS to happen next.
