40 comments

1. Kapp can you and Gordon please go live at some point!! You two are awesome!!

2. So we're going to go into the season with better starting pitching just so we can blow the lead in the late innings all season long again

3. dont fuckin trade nico ! or second thoughts do boston or yankees cud use him coz theres no way id like to see him stay with a loser cubs team

4. You guys need to do this more often! I love listening to you guys.

5. The Ricketts have turned into the Tribune Company; they believe that one WS win is enough for the fans, and now they can spend conservatively and just reap the profits of sellouts all summer and just be “competitive.”

   There is no urgency to win anymore. It’s all about the profits

6. What about the pitcher from Japan?? I could see Jed going after him along with Fried. Plus bullpen help

7. all of the IFs that Gordon lays out are why the cubs arent winning. You have to get proven talent. Cant just hope and pray guys all have career years at once lol

8. Roki Sasaki, please.

9. Don't let Jed off the hook. He may not have a billion to spend, but he has not spent the massive budget he has wisely. NMCs should not be offered on the Chicago Cubs. Players want to play here. They don't need the added incentive.

10. Well the GM meetings are over. The Cubs are linked to every FA in the World. And he still can't pull the trigger

11. Peredes needs to be traded. Hoerner can be traded. If we have players like Shaw in our system they need to be up with the major league team. Get Vlad and move Busch to 2nd and Shaw to 3rd. Vlad plays 1st. Immediate upgrade to the team.

12. I’ve heard Nico to the Mariners since last deadline. Would Nico bring back Gilbert or Woo? If the cubs go the trade route I think that’s a good compromise, this way Shaw or Triantos aren’t blocked

13. Mostly crying that the Cubs should spend more money.

14. What do you of bringing Fried and C Travis Darnow in as a combo?

15. Real the reason that theo epstein left in 2021 because there were big decisions that had to come up for cubs during that times it was because he didn't like the way that tom ricketts was operating

16. You're both right they need multiple guys and a closer. Trade for Mason Miller

17. They will do something cheap and count their money like always

18. Just waking up people tom ricketts doesn't not care about winning he give you signs this ownership doesn't not care about winning he doesn't want sign Juan Soto that sign from tom ricketts doesn't care bullshit about winning

19. Cubs should trade a prospect or two for Mason Miller, fixes bullpen. Get Fried and DeArnold. Armstrong, Busch, Swanson, Bellinger and Paredes will all have better years. Any injuries and Shaw will be up.

20. Nail down on pitching and defense. Go get Fried. Trade for Mason Miller. Just those two moves gives you a great bullpen and starting staff. Puts cubs in 90-92 wins. Shaw up if any injuries in infield which there will be.

21. I agree with Gordon, Ricketts & Co need to go big , make trades, creative financing . Ricketts didn’t remodeled in and around Wrigley just to have it as a decorative space.

22. It doesn’t matter. The cubs need to rebuild again

23. Championchip isn't a word

24. Why was Hoyer at the meetings? He is the president not the gm. Not linebhe is going to do any good there

25. Great episode guys! Thanks.

26. Sign Bauer nowadays!

27. Don't not forget chicago cubs record 103-58 in 2016 bulid another 100 winning team again

28. 🤣Nico Hoerner is not star player 😂😂

29. These segments with Gordon are awesome. Go Cubs!

30. The podcast would be awesome if Gordon could keep his Liberal Mr. I wanna see dudes in women’s sports douche nonsense out of his opinions. He lets his hate out way common sense

31. Soto & Sasaki. Trade a top-prospect for a big bullpen guy. Do nothing else. Watch 'em win the division by 10 games next year. But they won't because Jed, Carter & Tom… no testicular fortitude.

32. Great podcast. I know my next comments will make Gordon's head spin. Sign Fried & a good bullpen arm- Holmes or Scott or Esteves. I would say sign d"Arnaud but the LAA just did 2/$12m. Nice job Jed. The Cubs had the worse bench in baseball. Mastro, Madrigal. Wisdom…. Thus, your starting LF is Caissie, your starting 3b is Shaw, and if Nico cannot initially play then it Triantos time. Give these kids a CHANCE. These are not typical prospects.. They are top prospects. Happ stunk for the first three months, idc about the $20m, bench him. Paredes stunk the last two months, bench him. To be honest, Nico should be traded to the Dodgers for top catching prospect, Dalton Rushing. Happ and Paredes would be great off the bench.

33. Love the studio and looking good guys!

34. I look at what Ricketts spent on Elections 😳 Then what Market 1 New York and Market 2 L.A. do $$$ wise… And Market #3 is broke?!!??? 😮 Wtf Kap?!?!? You called out Flus, please look into and call this out.

35. Fix the Bullpen!!!!! 1B/DH Pete Alonso would be a great fit. We need Real Power. We need a good Cather, pry need to trade for 1. We have good young Sps. Steele, Assad, Tailion, Shota, Ben Brown, Horton, Wicks. Use that Hendricks $ on a Closer and Setup guy. Unless you can add a Lester type. Have Ben Brown Setup. Trade Prospects for a good Framer. Then we need Real Power. Pete Alonso. Vlad. Yes. Real Power in the middle.

36. Jhoan Duran Twins Closer 😳😳😳 Best Closer in ⚾. 104Mph with Crazy movement

37. Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

38. Hoyer Sucks, fire his ass now!

39. 🧐🤨So!! what you're saying is, none of these sports teams in Chicago, are trying to win any type of Championship, anytime soon!!😲 So!! why would anyone want to come to Chicago!!??🤔 They're not trying to win anything!!🧐😲🙄

40. Fried isn't happening. They'll play in the tier of Pivetta, Manaea, Kikuchi, and Eovaldi. That's it, so move on.

    The Cubs have Midwestern based owners which = cheap.
