Cubs fans are NOT happy this didn't happen...

In this episode, Mike Jones breaks down a wild week of Cubs rumors and near-miss moves that could reshape the entire 2026 roster. The Chicago Cubs are officially in trade talks with the Washington Nationals for MacKenzie Gore, one of the most electric young left-handers in baseball. Will Chicago finally land the controllable starter they’ve been searching for?

Plus — the Cubs reportedly met with Pete Alonso about a potential deal before he ultimately chose the Baltimore Orioles. How close were the Cubs to actually landing the Polar Bear?

And finally… Devin Williams is OFF the table. Chicago refused to match the $51 million price tag for the dominant closer. Was that a smart long-term play or a costly mistake?

With missed opportunities piling up and the rotation still incomplete… WHO will the Cubs sign next? Mike gives his picks, predictions, and what moves MUST happen next.
