This week, we check in on the Cubs as they head toward the All-Star break with real momentum and real questions. The Cubs are winning, PCA is on an absolute tear, and Dansby Swanson is starting to show signs of life, but is this team actually built to survive October without adding pitching?
The guys break down the Cubs’ recent run, the NL Central and Wild Card picture, PCA’s star turn, and which starting pitchers could be available before the trade deadline.
Then they shift to the Bulls and react to a busy offseason: drafting Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain, adding Norman Powell, and trading for Nic Claxton. Is there finally a real plan in Chicago and what should be expected of this team in 2026?
