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.
