Cubs enter 2026 looking more 'big market' than they have in years

And...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Cubs enter 2026 looking more 'big market' than they have in years

The beginning is important, Mark, mainly because you have an opportunity here because of who they're playing to kind of fill things out if you're Craig Council, both from a pitching standpoint because we know the wizardry, let's be honest, the wizardry that man did with the bullpen last year.

When you look at who was...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

in the bullpen at the start of the season, who was in the bullpen at the end of the season, and what those guys as a group were able to accomplish through the ups and downs, which every bullpen has, and the turnover on the roster in that position, but also with this lineup.

Because I really think Craig Council, even though he knows the guys he's going to have available to him every day, is still trying to tinker a little bit and figure out where does Alex Bregman fit in best with this team as a new player?

How can I take the time where Seiya Suzuki is getting whole and healthy?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And I don't want to see Seiya Suzuki on the field, by the way, until he is 100% healthy because it's the start of the season.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I don't need him lingering through anything Kyle Tucker style from last year.

But how does Matt Shaw fit in on a weekly basis in terms of how many at-bats he's going to get and where is he going to get those plate appearances?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Yeah, he served as an opener.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

He was multi-use in the most wide way that you can think of.
