Cubs REKAP Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

#chicagocubs President of Baseball Operations #jedhoyer pays #kap & Gordon Wittenmyer a visit in the #rekap studios for a lengthy sitdown and conversation on all things #cubs. The guys press Hoyer on the 2024 season, why it didn’t work, why they came up short and additions that didn’t happen. While discussing the addition of #kyletucker, the guys want to know what’s next?  Are there limitations?  Hoyer discusses some of his favorite moves of the past and some that he could’ve done workout, including #kyleschwarber & #djlemahieu to name a few. Will it be different in 2025?  Is he done spending?  Will they be able to add at the deadline if they’re in the hunt and should 2025’s performance play into whether or not Hoyer comes back in 2026 as he’s in the last year of his contract. 

It’s an ask anything edition with Cubs President Jed Hoyer on the Cubs REKAP Podcast!

As the season enters its final week, #kap  & Gordon discuss some of the things we heard from #chicagocubs manager #craigcounsell and pitcher #jamesontaillon say last week regarding the #cubs becoming a contender. Counsell says the team must make ‘tough decisions’ in trying to build 90 win teams on an annual basis. Taillon says they need to add stars to make it a ‘scary’ place to come to in the summer for opposing teams like it was in 2016 & 2017. They talk about what they expect #jedhoyer to do in the offseason and how hot is his seat as the man in charge.

Kap and Gordon discuss whether or not the Cubs are still in the race this season. If they fail to make the playoffs, what players will still be around next year? They need to make room for some of their top prospects and perhaps some free agent signings.
