Give that man a nice three, four year extension.

Pay him what he's worth.

And to your point, Layla, they really do have Nico Horner at home.

But will they let him out the house?

No, no, no.

Happy baseball season.

how you know what's funny about that is when you do the flashback to the last time we were talking about the cubs here in wrigleyville it was about who's going to pitch because they don't have enough pitching because all the pitching is either hurt worn down tired out i think the number one reason why this team will be better than last year's team is because they have a better handle on their starting pitching situation and that goes from kate horton who of course missed

the postseason last year and was not available in the moment in which they needed him the most, but also the fact that Shota Minaga looks to be better than what we saw last time.

They went out and got Edward Cabrera.

Justin Steele is on the mend and is expected to be back here in the first half of the season.

You add all that up, Layla, and understand that there are other guys that they have now at AAA who can come help.

The Javier sides of the world, Colin Ray is still here.

I feel much better about their pitching situation to start this season than I certainly did at the end of last season.

Understand this.

Only one division in the National League had three...

make it to the playoffs, and it was the NL Central.

Let me go ahead and double down on that.

I said that would happen last year.

It's going to happen again this year, and I think that's the biggest thing that people need to realize when they're watching the Cubs and understanding the Cubs team may be better, but other teams in the division may be better as well.

I fully expect the Brewers to do Brewers things, and what I mean by that is, oh, Jack Centurio, he's out to start the season, right?
