If you are a fan of the show, vote for your favorite Cubs REKAP Podcast episode by adding your comments to the episode page.

Kap and Gordon discuss whether or not they think the Cubs will go after Juan Soto. Soto has one year left on his rookie deal and is not yet 25 years old. He'll cost a lot, but with just one year of control left, he can't possibly cost too much. They also discuss whether or not getting Soto should stop them from going after Bellinger as well.
They also discuss whether letting Kyle Schwarber walk for nothing is one of the biggest mistakes the Cubs have ever made. Kyle is back in the post-season again, and the Cubs let him go basically because of money. They didn't want to pay the $8 million to keep him. Was that as bad as the Twins releasing David Ortiz back in 2002? What about the Orioles getting rid of Jake Arrieta?

The guys give their thoughts on the season opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers. David Kaplan and Gordon Wittenmyer say it was a little disappointing after an impressive win on Opening Day. The starting pitching outside of Marcus Stroman and Justin Steele needs to be better. Kap can’t get enough of this question: Should Cubs go after Shohei Ohtani? Shouldn’t every team? And one glaring and noticeable difference thus far in the early going, the pace of games has changed dramatically because of the pitch clock. Do you like it? The guys discuss.

Kap and Gordon discuss how Shohei Ohtani's injury will impact his impending free agency. Should the Cubs still go after him? Would he consider a short term deal while he rehabs his arm?
They also discuss the Cubs rotation. What seemed like a strength a month or two ago has become a major concern. The guys debate who they still trust in the rotation and who might be able to help from the minor leagues. They also discuss the likelihood of Justin Steele winning the Cy Young.
And finally they debate whether or not the Cubs can still win the division despite their rotation issues. Which upcoming series are the most important?

Despite early season team success, the Chicago Cubs have bullpen issues, most notably at the back end. David Kaplan & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss if it’s fixable, and if not, who can they get to help?
Gordon suggests the Cubs look 8 miles south and target White Sox closer Liam Hendriks once he returns. That would send shockwaves through Chicago and wake up the rest of baseball.
Plus, the guys debate if the offense, which has scored double digit runs already as many times as they did all of last year, is sustainable for the remainder of 2023.

With the season less than 3 weeks away, David Kaplan & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the few roster battles that remain at Cubs camp in Mesa. Plus, why they’ve flipped the script from previous podcasts and believe that pitcher Hayden Wesneski has earned a spot in the big league rotation.
The conversation pivots to how the Cubs got here, and by here, a team that had to tear it down again in order to build it back up to a contender. Gordon is adamant that in a market like Chicago and for what the Cubs spend, they should never be in that position. Instead, the pandemic brought on ‘biblical losses.’ Kap debates that the Cubs didn’t have a team good enough to win, hence here we are, the new look Cubs ready to start a new tradition. What follows is a fiery debate with plenty of passion!
