Episode Notes

On this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike breaks down the likelihood of the Cubs adding another veteran big bat to the lineup as the 2026 season approaches.

💥 We take a deep dive into three veteran offensive options still on the market:
Rhys Hoskins – proven right-handed power and on-base ability
Marcell Ozuna – middle-of-the-order pop with a long track record
Miguel Andújar – versatile contact bat with sneaky upside

📊 In this episode, we cover:

  • Each player’s 2025 stats and previous team

  • 2026 offensive projections and expected production

  • How each bat would fit the Cubs lineup and roster construction

  • Contract value, risk vs reward, and which option makes the most sense

  • Is Jed Hoyer looking for a short-term veteran boost or lineup depth?

Are the Cubs one more bat away from being a serious contender? 🤔
