CUBS Issues on FULL Display in May!

from Chicago Cubs Central Podcast Hosted by Chicago Cubs central

The Chicago Cubs are reaching a crossroads as the month of May comes to a close, and the team's biggest weaknesses are becoming impossible to ignore. On this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike takes a hard look at the growing problems that continue to plague the Cubs and asks the question many fans are beginning to wonder: Did Jed Hoyer miss too many opportunities this offseason? The Cubs continue to struggle with runners in scoring position, leaving countless opportunities on the bases while failing to deliver timely hits. At the same time, the starting rotation has been giving up far too many home runs, putting the team in early deficits and adding pressure to an already inconsistent offense. Mike breaks down the moves Jed Hoyer made—and the ones he didn't. Which free agents could have helped solve these problems? Which offseason decisions are now coming back to haunt the Cubs? And what can Chicago do to fix these issues before they become season-defining mistakes? 🔥 Cubs offensive struggles with RISP 🔥 Starting pitching giving up too many home runs 🔥 Jed Hoyer's biggest offseason misses 🔥 Roster construction concerns 🔥 Trade deadline outlook 🔥 Cubs news, analysis, and reactions As the season enters a critical stretch, the pressure is mounting on the front office, coaching staff, and players alike.
