Show Notes

With the first Chicago Cubs Spring Training game getting underway on Friday, Corey Freedman and Brendan Miller tee up the entire Cactus League slate and what fans should be watching from Day 1. The guys break down Jameson Taillon getting the ball in the opener and what a strong spring could mean for his role in the 2026 rotation. They’ll also dive into Matt Shaw getting reps in the outfield — what does that mean for his versatility and roster outlook? Plus, updates on Pete Crow-Armstrong’s offensive adjustments, Ben Brown’s upside as a breakout arm, and the early camp storylines that could shape the Cubs’ season. From rotation battles to position flexibility and breakout candidates, this episode sets the stage for everything to monitor as Cubs baseball officially returns.
