This is gonna be the 2nd time in row that the Cubs start a season vs the World Series Champs.

Dodgers won the WS. Their next game is at home vs the Cubs on Feb 20, AND on March 18 & 19 in Tokyo to start the season.

Last year the Rangers won the WS & they too opened the next season vs the Cubs. Is this a jinks on the Cubs?

Cubs and Dodgers in Tokyo opening day 2025 baby! Can’t wait for the details to drop!

One day after the conclusion of the World Series, trades can be made. 5 days after the end of the World Series, free agents can be signed. All decisions on opt outs have to be made within 5 days of the conclusion of the World Series.

Looking ahead to next season what are some moves that we would like to see, that are also possible moves we could see.

I’m curious about possibly adding Tomoyuki Sugano. I haven’t seen much about what his salary would be, but I could see in the Imanaga range which I think is a reasonable price.

I know people are hoping for Soto, I just don’t see the Cubs doing it unless they get the Luxury Tax reset this year. And even then, I don’t see the Ricketts handing out a bunch of money to one player (unless maybe they can Bonilla/Ohtani it).

I hear that Belli is a ? about coming back. I feel like we are set with starters at IF. Perhaps we upgrade behind the plate. OF we have PCA, Belli?, Happ, and Suzuki. With possibly a DH rotation of Suzuki and Belli?.

On the bench I am guessing Tauch comes back as OF depth and a decent PH bat. This maybe what we see signed in FA.

Last, we need a closer. While Hodge ended the season there, it was too small of a sample size.

Do y’all remember when they decimated the team and trade away our 2016 core because we were PROMISED a rebuild. Well that never happened. Cubs just don’t spend the amount Yankees and Dodgers are spending even though they have the money. You can’t take the money to hell with you Ricketts! For the amount of love and money(!) we show the team, the fans deserve better. So yes I wish we had kept some of the core players. Would they have been overpaid? Sure! But if we’re gonna lose anyways why not keep them? Would be nice to see Rizzo nightly in blue and reminisce about 2016. The money didn’t go into the team away but into the owners pockets. So do you all remember? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Does anyone know if there's a full recording of the radio broadcast somewhere online? Only thing I could find is this. Only thing on youtube could find is the final out.
