CHGO Chicago Cubs Podcast

Are the Chicago Cubs’ starting rotation problems a reason to panic? On today’s CHGO Cubs Podcast, Luke Stuckmeyer and Joey Christopoulos welcome back ALLCHGO.com baseball feature writer Tony Andracki to break down the Cubs’ pitching concerns, the rivalry with the Milwaukee Brewers, and what it will take to compete at the highest level. With the Brewers advancing to the Championship Series, the crew debates whether elite starting pitching is the biggest difference between these NL Central rivals and what Jed Hoyer must do this offseason to rebuild the Cubs’ rotation. Join the conversation as the CHGO Cubs crew examines Craig Counsell’s role, the Cubs’ biggest offseason questions, and how Chicago can close the gap on Milwaukee!

Ian Happ’s future with the Chicago Cubs is one of the biggest questions facing Jed Hoyer this offseason. After 10 seasons in Chicago, Happ is headed for free agency following a 2026 season in which he hit 24 home runs and drove in 68 runs, while continuing to provide strong defense and leadership as one of the longest-tenured Cubs. In this edition of Love Him or Lose Him, Luke Stuckmeyer, Joey Christopoulos and Justin Roman debate whether the Cubs should RE-SIGN Ian Happ for 2027 or move on and reshape the outfield. Should Happ remain a core piece of the next Cubs team, or is it time for Chicago to turn the page?
