Cubs REKAP Podcast ⚾ (S1-EP 32) - Should the Cubs trade for Juan Soto?

Cubs REKAP Podcast

10/13/23 • 30 min

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?

Cubs REKAP Podcast

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Todd Roziak joins #DavidKaplan & Gordon Wittenmyer to discuss why the Milwaukee Brewers are the team in the NL Central that the Cubs should most worry about in 2023! While Kap has been focused on the defending division champions St. Louis Cardinals, Gordon says that the Brewers have a chip on their shoulder, both as a team and within key individuals.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 10) Why the 2023 Chicago Cubs Could Be For Real!

Cubs REKAP Podcast

04/19/23 • 28 min

#DavidKaplan & #GordonWittenmyer are buying in, well, let’s be honest, Kap had long ago, but after a series win over the #Dodgers, even Gordon is tipping his cap to what the #Cubs have done to start the 2023 season. Gordon has the stats to back it up.
Most notably, the pair highlight the performance of #MarcusStroman & #JustinSteele in the rotation. They’ve been lights out, and with Steele, it goes way back to last year. The offense is for real, and #DansbySwanson appears to be the real deal after signing a mega deal in the offseason.
Prior to #HaydenWesneski’s dominant start against Oakland, the guys talked about him needing a start like that or he could be the odd man out when Kyle Hendricks returns.
Plus - the guys discuss #SeiyaSuzuki’s return to RF.
There’s reason for excitement about what’s going on on the Northside.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 9) Could Shohei Ohtani Be A Real Possibility For The Cubs?!

Cubs REKAP Podcast

04/12/23 • 23 min

David Kaplan and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss several topics beginning with the Cubs good start to the 2023 season, with strong showings against good teams like the Brewers, Rangers and Mariners. Kap says the team might be a surprise all season, while Gordon admits even he didn’t see this coming. Gordon adds that Dansby Swanson, the big free agent addition for the Cubs, had been better than advertised.
Marcus Stroman is another talking point, leaving Kap to question whether the Cubs would consider extending him sooner than later after a hot start and appearing as if he’s settled into the team’s top starter. Gordon throws water on the topic saying he believes that Stroman will exercise his opt out and the Cubs will move on without him.
Plus, how could the Cubs give Stroman the money if they’re going to be players for Shohei Ohtani? That’s right, Bob Nightengale reported it could be the case which has Kap out over his skis and Gordon even suggesting a bet after Kap has brought the topic up nearly every podcast to date.

Cubs REKAP Podcast (Season 1 Episode 4) - Who has impressed in spring training so far?

Cubs REKAP Podcast

03/15/23 • 28 min

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!

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 12) The State of the Cubs One Month Into The Season

Cubs REKAP Podcast

05/03/23 • 24 min

The Cubs had a tough weekend in Miami, but Kap and Gordon still took away some positives. The Cubs were in every game, Justin Steele looked good again, and Patrick Wisdom keeps hitting home runs.
The guys also go over their biggest takeaways from the Cubs first month of play. Both of them agree that the offense has been better than expected, but the bullpen hasn't been as good as expected. Kap wonders if Jed will actually look to add to the bullpen if the team keeps playing well. Aroldis Chapman will most likely be available again at this trade deadline. Will Jed want to give away the assets to aquire him?
Kap still wants to know when the Cubs will bring up Matt Mervis. Kap says, if he's ready, he should be here. Gordon thinks the Cubs have to at least be thinking about Mervis up. But he also knows the Cubs will take their time making that decision.
The guys also discuss the impact Yan Gomes has had on the team and whether the Cubs will struggle without him. On the other hand, Miguel Amaya finally gets the call to the bigs. How long will he be here?
The guys also discuss who the best pitcher in Chicago is right now. Is it Justin Steele? Is it Dylan Cease?
Finally, the guys discuss the Pirates and Cardinals and Kap decides to take a cheap shot at Aramis Ramirez.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 8) What to Make of the Chicago Cubs Opening Series Start.

Cubs REKAP Podcast

04/05/23 • 27 min

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.
