Cubs Prep for Winter Meetings, PCA Extension Talk & Potential Bullpen Targets | Bleacher Nation Cubs

Brett and Michael are back for the forty-first episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! With the Winter Meetings a week away, the guys cover the latest Cubs news and rumors as the offseason slowly begins to take shape.They talk about the Cubs’ minor league deal with infielder Scott Kingery, how it fits the team’s low-risk depth-building approach, and where things stand with potential extensions—particularly Pete Crow-Armstrong’s after his uneven rookie season.The guys also discuss Kyle Tucker’s meeting with the Blue Jays, why the Cubs aren’t expected to be involved in those talks, and the expectation that bullpen additions are still coming soon.Finally, they break down reports that the Cubs were in on Dylan Cease before backing out as the bidding passed $200 million, and what that says about the front office’s willingness to spend. Despite missing out, the Cubs appear poised to pursue other high-end arms such as Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai, Ranger Suárez, Michael King, and Zac Gallen as the market develops.A special thank you to Ankin Law for sponsoring this podcast!Visit Ankin Law's Website ➡️ ankinlaw.comRead more Cubs coverage ➡️ bleachernation.com   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
