Recap: Craig Counsell says "We should be trying to build 90 win teams around here." And "theres a large gap" between the Cubs and brewers in the NL central. We discuss the 5 main takeaways from the Cubs 2024 season, including: offensive home and road splits, underperformance by key players, heavy injuries to pitching except Hodge/Lopez/Miller, rookie dominance from PCA, Shota and Busch, and finally, the moves still needed to be made in 2025 to improve the team. Will they get another Ace like Fried or Burnes? Will they venture into Guerrero, Santander, Soto, or Alonso? For injuries and roster moves: Merryweather and Jorge Lopez were shut down at the end of the season. Cubs called up Enoli Paredes and sent down Wingenter and Hollowell. They also DFA'd Shawn Armstrong. While Busch and Suzuki went down with injuries, the Cubs called up CF Kevin Alcantara for his debut! He makes it on the roster since he's already on the 40-man roster, while Caissie will be added to it this offseason and make his debut in 2025. Matt Shaw was also voted Double A Southern League player of the year! Analysis of team performance, strengths, weaknesses, and roster changes, including call-ups and more.
