What breaking news is discussed in the podcast?
This is Five On, and we've got breaking news, baby.
According to Michael Cerami of Bleacher Nation, the Cubs are close to acquiring Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera. How do you feel about this potential move by Jed Hoyer and company?
Starting pitching? On a team? For the career? Yeah. Edward Cabrera, right-hander, throws, hear me out, a fastball over 90.
Woo!
That's all it takes to get you excited.
Yes, on this team. Gets me excited, man, as a Cubs fan.
You guys are ridiculous.
Are you kidding? What are you going to tell me next? That he throws, like, a mean changeup and maybe mixes in a curveball?
What potential changes might the Bears make against the Packers?
Oh, wait, he does those things. What? Hot damn, we got us a thrower and an out-getter. What do you know? That's good news. But what makes this really compelling is we just had Bruce Levine on, and Bruce Levine has said this, and so did Bob Nightingale, that Owen Casey is likely part of the deal. That means it is the second generation of the Udarvish trade that is coming into play here, because Owen Casey was the one big get from that deal. Should have been more. That's another story for another day. So... Additionally, that means we can't figure out who's supposed to be contributing on offense because we all seem to think that Kyle Tucker is not part of this mix. And then Bruce drops the facts that he dropped the names.
He dropped the names Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, and Cody Bellinger.
And then he didn't back off when I brought up Boba Shett.
How does the Bears' offense compare to the Packers' defense?
He did not back off. It... In a world where this could happen, do we think this could happen? Do we think they can't be? Please don't be done.
You know what camp I'm in?
Please don't. All I've wanted is another bat.
Not just any bat, by the way, because they did get a bat already. I don't know if you remember.
What role does special teams play in the Bears vs. Packers matchup?
Oh, yeah. First base. Okay. That was the Mark Grody interlude for a while. Tyler Austin.
I mean, look, you get help where you can get help. Maybe they're just slowly. Grody would be like, but they got. But look, this might not be the big move. This might not be the big move. Maybe they're just slowly building up. This is the next step. And then you get a bigger move. And then a biggest move. And if the biggest move is Cody Bellinger, Alex Bregman, Kyle Tucker, or Bo Bichette, sign me up for that.
Man, watching the Toronto Blue Jays make all those moves, they're like, oh, we got to the World Series? Oh, we got to Game 7? Oh, we're not done. No, we said we're not done. Oh, no, we're not done.
What insights did Matt Bowen provide about the Bears' secondary?
They might not still be done.
What an idea.
So my thoughts are this, Mr. Executive Producer Ray Diaz, asking all these questions from behind that protective glass that you sit behind. My thoughts are the Cubs are actually alive and I don't have to take out my long stick and poke them and say, do something.
Why are you saying that after the last segment?
Well, I didn't even think about the last segment. The last segment is history. Why are you trying to make something out of it?
How about that? Hey, none of this, all of this could be avoided if they had just not sued each other or kept out of the, you know, Ariana Grande kept out of putting Pete Davidson in the burden book.
My man just existed. What does he, what do you want him to do? He can't help how he was built anatomically.
Anatomically. Anatomically. I was really about to say. Who doesn't make up words though?
autonomically he can't he can't he can't control how god made him fair enough you know sounds like that definitely happened one man's well one woman's trash is another woman's treasure apparently in this case but listen i just feel for him i feel for the whole situation he shouldn't be punished because he's a little girthy you know
The text messages on the text line have been top notch.
What you got?
How is Ben Johnson's coaching impacting the Bears' performance?
Give me one.
We cannot read them. Is that bad? And you know what? That's how I would like to describe this move.
Girthy. Number two. We're going to pivot to playoff football here.
What? Is that a thing?
That's right. We have playoff football in Chicago of the three phases of football. Offense, defense, special teams. Where would you say the Bears have an advantage over the Packers?
