Contract Projections & How the Cubs Spend This Winter | Bleacher Nation Cubs

Brett and Michael are back for the eighty-sixth episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! With free agency underway, the guys start putting some numbers behind the Cubs' biggest offseason decisions.

They discuss the latest contract projections for this year's free-agent class and how they'll be breaking down potential targets throughout the offseason at Bleacher Nation. Beyond simply identifying players who could help the Cubs, the bigger question is what those additions are realistically going to cost.

That becomes especially important when considering the Cubs' own free agents. Brett and Michael examine what it might take to bring familiar players back, how those contracts would fit alongside the rest of the roster, and when retaining your own talent could potentially limit the team's ability to address other needs.

It's an early look at the financial puzzle facing the front office and how the Cubs might balance continuity with the need to improve heading into 2027.
