Episode Notes

Happy New Year from North Side Territory, the show that covers all the offseason angles involving the Cubs.

The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney are back to sketch out what the Cubs might do now that Tatsuya Imai has decided to sign with the Astros.

Look for certain names to resurface in free agency, and expect more trade rumors to pop up. Plus, an explainer on what the Cubs have done with their bullpen and how that sets up the rest of the winter (and start of spring training).
