Cubs REKAP Podcast ⚾️ (S2 – EP28) – Do the Chicago Cubs have a realistic shot at Roki Sasaki?
#kap and #gordonwittenmyer always are spirited when they get together and this episode is no different. Gordon believes the big market #chicagocubs should be in on just about everybody, while Kap knows there are some restrictions. The #cubs have had success in bringing Japanese players in recent years and currently have #seiyasuzuki & #shotaimanaga. So , are they players for the next big name from #japan? #rokisasaki will make his way to #mlb in 2025 and the pair discuss whether he’ll be part of the 2025 plans.
That and more as the #wintermeetings draw closer in a few weeks.

Cubs aint going to do shit besides the bare minium. Wrigley still fills and the beer keeps flowing, only thing they care about
Never mind Anthony there David. I know you’re the best baseball analyst Chicago has. You don’t get where you’re at without knowing baseball, or any other sport for that matter.
The Chicago Cubs need a closer.
Gordan the Kamala of sports straight worthless.
Does this guy really want to hand an opening day spot to Matt Shaw for playing well in the group games of a Premier12 tournament? Most of the guys there can't get with an MLB affiliated minor league team. It is better that he is playing well than not, but come on.🤣😂🤣
Talking about handing out a job… We are always doing that. Lets see if Morel can learn third base at the Major league level instead of making him play in the minors at third…at least Shaw is a good fielder.
What is the purpose of releasing Alzolay at this point? The Cubs brand is garbage since 2018…..a team of diminishing returns
KAP, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE CUBS BETTER COME OUT OF POCKET THIS OFF SEASON. DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. BE ABOUT IT. TIME TO BE SERIOUS CONTENDERS FOR THE WORLD SERIES.
Do the BREWERS WAIT????
No they give the YOUNG GUNS A SHOT! Cassie, Shaw and Ballastero need to be the bench players and in the righty- lefty mix!
I can't hear Gordon!
I wonder how much some of these guys make from, the endorsements. The Cubs players should do really well on that because not only is Chicago a huge market, but thanks to WGN having been shown nationally on cable since the 80's the Cubs have a nationwide fanbase. Granted, this will probably fizzle out in another 10 years since they shoved WGN aside to launch Marquee.
Based on what Gordon said, Shaw should have been up in September then. You cannot use 40 man roster excuses as long as Mastro and Wisdom were still there.
Speak In to the 🎙️ Gordon
If the cubs don't get a closer all of this is for nothing
Kap
Always appreciate your passion and often makes good points
Lemme just tell you and Gordon
Bullpen should be number one
Offense and Starters and defense competitive enough
How many blown saves did they have?
Win even half of those and 90 wins or more
Canario is doing well in the Dominican ,1.033 OPS , I am really pulling for that Guy after the injuries, I think He ends up a very good MLB regular
Stop with the Sasaki talk. They aren’t getting him, nor they need him. This team needs a full on teardown and rebuild. We will get that come July 31st.
Go get Miyagi hes even better than Roki
Gordon is the same guy that suggested Elly De La Cruz might start in AAA last year. Gordon doesn’t get the type of prospects these guys are.
Cubs has 5 gold glove caliber players, they are at least same level as Brewers. I predict they will be better defensively than Brewers next season.
The Cubs will likely win an average of 82 to 85 games per year as long as the cheapskate Ricketts are in charge.They won't be in the playoffs anytime soon
They won't get Sasaki, or Burnes or Fried.Rumors every year never become reality
Who???
Better chance of me signing with the Cubs….
Cubs nabbed Eli Morgan! That’s a pretty great signing! It’s a start
In what world can Matt Shaw start in the minors with Hoerner missing the start of the season? Who realistically will compete with him for this spot in spring training? Mastro? Please man.
I seriously don't know why any player would want to come to the Cubs, they aren't serious about contending for a World Series
Trade Paredes with prospects to get a top 10 catcher. Shaw at 3B.
Cubs got monre from Cleveland
