And here I was thinking that high school was the last time I’d be hurt by the word “dork”
Bears fans, put the frustration of the Bears season in Cubs terms for me… Is it like 2006 when we expected the Cubs to be decent and instead they lost 96 games? Worse? Not as bad?
I’m thankful I got to know Daniel Moskos before the Marlins snatched him up
This is such a bummer. I had Moskos on my channel last month and he was one of my favorite interviews. Marlins got a good one

The #Marlins will be hiring Daniel Moskos as their new pitching coach per @MarlinsRadio’s show. Moskos, 38, is six years removed from his playing career. He spent one season in the majors in 2011 with Pittsburgh. Pitched in Mexico in 2018. Replaces Mel Stottlemyre Jr.
Best news in this was at the end: Ben Brown cleared to start his offseason throwing program 🙌🏻
What @PJ_Mooney and I are hearing about the Chicago Cubs: The search for starting pitching, former MLB hitting coaches added to the player development staff, Ben Brown recovery and more. nytimes.com/athletic/59511…
So they are out on Sasaki now? 😃
This was a really fun convo getting to know Owen Caissie. We talked about: -Improvements needed for MLB -Mike Tauchman’s release -Owen’s mentality -Offseason prep in AZ -and some fun stuff about his personal life WATCH: youtu.be/mnXNCFR4QwM?si… LISTEN: player.captivate.fm/episode/ef37b1…
I interviewed Owen Caissie this weekend, and I’m releasing the full interview tomorrow. But, here’s a sneak peak! Check out Owen’s reaction to some of his top moments in his pro career. Pretty funny moment in the WBC VIDEO: youtu.be/8lzQlCWDvfM?si…
Apparently signing a bunch of old farts puts you “back in the game”
Angels are back in the ballgame. That’s about $100M spent (Soler, d’Arnaud, Hendricks, Newman too) for early MLB spending lead.
This a HUGE overpay on Kikuchi. Only one MLB season with an ERA under 4.00 (3.86 in 2023). Spotrac put his estimated market value at $14.9M. Feels like the Angels are shooting from the hip and just buying guys with no plan. They did the same thing at the ‘23 trade deadline
The #Angels aggressive offseason continues as they land LHP Yusei Kikuchi in free agency as 1st reported by @JonHeyman . The deal is 3-years, $63 million. Kikuchi went 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA over 10 starts after the #Astros acquired him from the #BlueJays at the trade deadline.
Appreciate the kind words!
Great show btw, really enjoy your content and podcast. You obviously have a knack for it to get the guests you do. Congrats! It’s fun to talk Cubs baseball.
One player doesn’t make the team, that is true. But they are at the point where a superstar pushes them to the next level. Replace a 2 WAR player with an 8 WAR player, and you can’t ignore the numbers. The Cubs go from 83 wins to 89 wins on paper. That’s a playoff team
Ok, Cubs fans, I keep hearing the Cubs need a superstar to win. But the Cubs had Sammy Sosa for 13 seasons. He hit 30 plus HRs for 12 of them. The Cubs made the playoffs twice during that time frame. So I don't think a superstar will fix everything or anything for that matter.
Look who we have here! Really fun convo with Owen Caissie. I'll be dropping this one on Monday! If you aren't subscribed, make sure you do it now and hit that notification bell so you know when it's live! Subscribe: youtube.com/@SetupManCubs?…
Yayyyy
It’s because they are signing Juan Soto
The Cubs have non-tendered Mike Tauchman.
Part of me feared this wouldn’t happen
Nick Madrigal has been non-tendered, per reports.
To quote the great Ron Burgundy... Tyler Zombro is kind of a BIG deal @LanceBroz chatted with me about Zombro and how special he will be for Cubs pitchers in 2025. Watch: youtu.be/wbwvMlIZD6I Listen: player.captivate.fm/episode/6111cc…
Tyler Zombro... there's a ton of hype around the Cubs' new Special Pitching Assistant. What's so special about him, and how can he help the Cubs win in 2025? @LanceBroz (from Marquee Sports) will jump on my channel today to discuss. Expect the episode to drop around 3-4pm CST
Looking forward to this! Starts in 30 mins!
The @sonrantoshow will be live tonight at 8PM CT! Talking #Cubs! Featuring @setupmanpod and @WrigleyvilleBum twitch.tv/sonrantoshow facebook.com/share/1BfQYCex… youtube.com/live/GV6OI9iY4… sonranto.com/live
Trading him only makes sense if the corresponding move is getting a star. Thi’s would give them $80-$90 mil for 2025 to work with. With that kind of money available, a star has to be the next move. Anything less would not be a good look
Are the @Cubs considering moving Cody Bellinger? @Ken_Rosenthal breaks it down on Fair Territory
