If the Cubs want to compete next year we need a 3rd baseman that can rake. Also a DH that puts fear into the opposing team. Also have to have a Catcher that hits because the rest of regulars other than 3 guys , can't be relied on
I'm not trading Justin Steele period! This guy is an ace, a leader, and everything that you would want at the top of your rotation. We should trade position players from our big league roster. It's the lack of offense they provide that is holding the team back. I want to see the kids come up and play. I doubt the offense would be any worse than it is now. Plus, the experience they get this year should help them in 2025.
We're not close definitely want a superstar ready prospect then if trade him
Mick I know about
Owing. St. Louis. Browns. Cardinals of 1950’s 1970’s. 1990s. I followed cubs for about 20 years. I feel your pain. I feel your pain pain.
Other than Busch , we don't have any position players ( rookies ) that can be counted on to hit. Also we allegedly have a top 3 Farm but I wouldn't bet any of the them will be an offensive threat.
Thanks for the show Mick! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️✌️💙🐻
Mick…please bear with me if you can. 1st awesome episode. If you read this, why are we in a hurry to trade every one imaginable like Jed has a gun to his head? Clear salary? Who you fielding in 2025? Love this episode as always. Help me 🫤I actually think it’s a great topic for a future show of yours explaining what this accomplishes RE: 2025
Keep the starting pitchers and try and trade wisdom, swansong, morel, Miles, happ, Suzuki, and the entire front office.
I don’t trust Hoyer making trades for the future. He failed in San Diego and he is failing here in Chicago.
Interesting. I think his trades have been really pretty good. Busch, Brown, Caissie, Alcantara, PCA the list goes on. It's the extensions and free agent signings that have been a flop.
@@ANDROID.DAWESOME those trades seem good but it’s too early to tell. Only Busch has had some success on the major league level.
You should refer to them as the 'baffling brewers.'
Go Bears!
If the “kids” are all about the same as PCA and Canario have shown us, we may not expect a Cubs championship team for at least eight to ten seasons.
While Jameson could get us a young catcher from Boston, the 1 strength of this team is Starting Pitching, scoring runs are this teams problem

Trading quality starting pitching is a horrible idea.
Thank you! What are these guys nuts? What are we talking about here? Just because you’re labeled a seller doesn’t mean you gotta deal like you have a gun to your head. This is nuts. Who do they replace the BP with next season? Thank god this isn’t MLB The Show and it’s the real world because they’ve lost their minds man.
I agree!
It shocks me when I hear fans worrying about saving Ricketts/ Cubs $ . We are not the KC Royals , we can well afford any players.
I would love for them to pick up a young catcher , 3rd baseman or young high leverage BP arm. No more 18 year old prospects
Trading Steele would be the worst move in Cubs history but knowing Jed Hoyer anything is possible with this idiot. Pitching has been great, Hoyer should have tried to pick up a bat or two instead of throwing in the towel, and the players know that. The guy needs to be fired now.
Hollywood Pete plays defense / runs bases like Griffey Jr. But hits like Mick Kelleher !!!! I hope he can hit one day but wouldn't bet on it. If he doesn't he would be a 4th outfielder at worst. But right now Tauchman is a better player
Forget about the pitching. The Cubs have scored 7 runs in the last 6 games. They stink.
We stinks!
I gotta tell you. I’d say at least 20 something teams in the MLB would kill for the starting pitching (and lately BP) Cubs have. To waste this would be criminal. Forget what prospects you get back. The offense needs fixing. Leave the starting pitching alone. Go deal prospects to get 2 stars. Completes stars. You can’t assume and leave the rotation to Imanaga and 4 rookies essentially? What are we kidding here? These guys aren’t proven!!!!!!!!!!!! Ben Brown, Jordan Wicks, Imanaga and who else? If they give up Taillon & Steele? 😂😂😂😂😂
If I were Jed Hoyer/Carter Hawkins, it would be irresponsible not listen to offers for every player. Listening to offers doesn’t mean they’ll get traded….but, it never hurts to hear the offers.
The Cubs can really mess up the few strengths of this team. So far it's only the starting pitching that is consistent and the strongest part of this team. So trade our starters , and we can be the White Sox
With the exception of Hendricks id leave pitching alone id get rid of every single position player bring up all of your top farm guys and surprise baseball
Exact reason I didnt want Swanson or Belli. They're pretend stars period. Now were stuck with shit and cubs wont spend again now because of another Heyward contract
The offense is terrible. It's not the starting pitching and the bullpen. The offense isn't producing the runs. Starting pitching does it job keeping games close and the bullpen does it job not giving up more runs. Offense isn't doing it's job giving the pitching run support. Nuff said.
Never, never, never. Give away good pitching for unproven potential! Baseball revolves around pitching! Steele has Ace qualities that have never been supported with any offense. No. No. No.
No to the Yankees
I believe the Cubs unloading guys like Bote, and other older players and all these one year guys.
Another one Run loss
Steel would need to bring back minimum 5 prospects in the receiving teams top 15.
More interested in quality.
@@ttanne7838 Baltimore has plenty of quality prospects. But it needs to be a haul + like what the Yankees gave up for Soto. Which wasn't that much. A backup catcher and a couple of prospect pitchers.
Canario went out with what looked like a hammie Today scoring from 2nd , He will not be getting traded
Why would they trade any pitchers? I can see Tailon, and better get a real good hitter if you trade . Other than that no other pitchers , cracks me up the starting lineup is not the problem
Javier Assad u listen on steele if it's a massive haul
I doubt Steele is available. Maybe if 2-3 already in MLB guys were offered but doubtful anyone would do that in 2024. The path to 2025 really isnt very clear to me with existing players already under contract and the prospects coming up which the cubs probably wont block or trade.
Doubt the cubs trade Seiya with their japan opening series now and his no trade. Cody's 30m for next year will make him tough to trade unless cub pay up.
Look at Yanks they have 2 studs in Soto, Judge, and Cole is back and they are a mess. The Mariners have a stud pitching staff and a lousy lineup making them fringe in a short series at best.
Maybe if Ricketts allowed Jed to blow past the tax they could buy their way into it but we know thats doubtful. Are they going to punt on Assad Wicks Brown + Horton in the rotation to sign FAs?
They could load up on the bullpen but we know that RPs are volatile, so that could backfire too.
If you look at the org depth chart on a spreadsheet view its really hard to thread to needle to being good based on who's available and who we're stuck with.
Then when the prospects arrive its a wait and see how long it will take them to be good, so 2025 looks like a developmental year hoping guys become better?
PCA, Swanson, Catcher, Nico are non impact hitters
Busch Happ Seiya Belly are good not great
Morel is a talent but not good yet
It would also stink to trade some of these young bats and miss out on a great player for many years in their prime because good but not great players are in their way.
Jed made our bed, and we the have fans suffer...wait still 2026, hopefully
The Cubs didn't acquire any big bats in the off season. They didn't spend. They wasted 40 million on this manager. They might have the BEST starting pitching in MLB. Just one clutch bat and they'd be in this. Whoever made Swanson their franchise player should've been fired. PCA is not a good player, I couldn't say all that if I was born a Cub fan. Who would have thought Morel would be a better defensive than offensive player. The GM is terrible and now he's trusted for trades. NO way.
Michael.
Swanson to LA for Heyward
Dfa Steele. O trade have enough garbage
Not watching these trade videos. 😠
Face the facts,hitters now days don't want singles,they want hrs,so that's all they try for,so trade Steele an get a haul,maybe in 50 years they'll have a good teem,we can dream
Fire jed hoyer he is awful dosent spend joke
Watched Jim Bowden discuss Cubs on Foul Territory. Everyone should hear his take. Do you know how hard it is to assemble a good starting staff? You don’t trade a starter!!! They’re all back next year. He criticized Jed for not making the small moves necessary to improve. Where were Cubs when Royals got Hunter Harvey? Why hasn’t he picked up Diaz from CO? Marlins are waiting for offers on everyone! He stressed small moves that improve the team rather than dreaming on big moves. But Jed has whiffed on those too! He also said publicly announcing you’re selling is not very smart. Current players and fans deserve to see some direction for improvement, not just standing pat then publicly announcing a fire sale. I’m not a Bowden fan but he was dead on. He also said Cin & Pitt are way ahead of cubs in building a winner and Milwaukee made Counsell, Counsell didn’t make them.
The bigger question is Dansby and Belli contracts. Those are both looking bad. I would trade Taillon and many others. Re-tool now and bring up the kids. Sign a legit star player or two like Freddie Freeman quality. Build like the Phillies. Key dudes that can carry a team. Build around that. Not Dansby Swanson.
…if the “kids” are all about as PCA and Canario have shown, there may not be a winner Cubs team for at least seven to ten seasons.
Zero chance Steele gets traded. His value is massive. Only a handful of teams could afford the return and they wouldn't make that trade. This "rumor" comes from a clickbait clown. Can we stop talking about it now? Go Cubs Go!
Need the third baseman from either Tampa or Miami
Or Mayo from Baltimore AAA
Sometimes it's just not your year. 20+ one run losses means you were close, but no cigar. Trade guys who aren't gonna be part of your future plans and retool for next season. Go Cubs!
If the Cubs want to build a great team for 2025: Why on earth would you trade a great pitcher like Steele or Taillon...for prospects? The Cubs don't need more good prospects. These are the same pitchers you want to be a part of your 2025 Cub team. PLEASE...explain the logic of that kind of trade???
Hoyer would be a fool if he trades Steele. Neris smyly, leiter Jr. Or merriweather could be traded Hoyer should be removed with Hawkins, and lister too Kaplan podcast and bring in Bowden for gm. Because he had good advice trade for Torres from Yankees for bellinger & Tallion and prospects
Torres stinks , and for the package You stated Hoyer should be fired on the spot for that , You must be a Yankees fan .
Disagree… we should trade prospects for PROVEN MLB players especially stars like Vlad w power! Look at PCA he is proving to be nothing but speedster and great defender… noodle bat. Most likely 75% of our top prospects won’t amount to the hype. Sorry, been talking about them for years. I’m tired of losing and not making the playoffs. The Cubs can spend if they want and invest in the right players . The FO has failed miserably. This team is one of the most unlikeable in my adult life.
