CHGO CUBS RELATED: What the Cubs Can (and Can’t) Copy from the Dodgers and Jays?
The Cubs look close — but are they really built like October teams such as the Dodgers and Blue Jays? Corey and Brendan break down how roster construction, lineup philosophy, and the absence of a true middle-order slugger shape the team’s ceiling. Plus, what the Jays’ aging rotation and contact-heavy approach reveal about building sustainably — and whether the Cubs even should chase that big bat everyone keeps talking about.
