BP Wrigleycast - Chicago Cubs News

Nothing good happened last night as the Cubs lost game 3. Oh wait, Kris Bryant had a few singles.
Is it time to panic or is this just #baseball? The guys discuss.

It finally happened: the Cubs traded away their top prospect (and more) for a top pitcher. Did they get enough? Was this a good move? The guys weigh in, with Isaac and Ryan taking a pretty clear stance on the whole thing.
This move also comes with a ton of baggage, and the guys talk about the domestic violence issues surrounding Chapman and the role that plays in assessing this trade.
Joel's 60 Seconds with a Former Cub revisits with another closer: Joe Borowski.
Ryan's Question of the Week is a poll about the Chapman trade that shows a pretty split fan base.
Isaac takes on the At Bat of the Week and Anthony Rizzo locks that down...again.

The Cubs surprise everyone and trade for Chris Coghlan. With him and Almora now on the roster, how does playing time look moving forward? The guys touch a little bit on the draft (and the Cardinals' draft) as well as the whole "how long can they carry three catchers?" ordeal. What's up with that?
Joel's 60 Seconds with a former Cub goes for some prose with Bryan LaHair. Ryan's Question of the week pitts Javy Baez against Addison Russell. Isaac's At Bat of the Week hopes Jason Heyward has finally reached a turning point.

Ryan, Isaac, and Joel get together to discuss the events of the last two weeks. Included is debate about the merits of the Wade Davis for Jorge Soler deal, the bullpen overall, the Jon Jay signing, the split of playing time among the outfielders, and some chatter about the starting rotation.
Later, the guys give their picks for who could be the leadoff man now that Dexter Fowler is wearing Cardinal red. If you like this episode, please follow us @BPWrigleycast on Twitter and send us your feedback!

Real baseball that actually counts is back! The guys discuss what (if anything) has changed now that a World Series titled has been accomplished.
Then they discuss some quick hits from the early season. From Heyward's bat to Almora's glove, there are some early signs that everything is going to be OK.
Tommy Birch joins to give his thoughts on several players in Triple-A Iowa and which ones might have an impact this season or could just be fun to watch.
