Episode Notes

In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike Jones breaks down a potential blockbuster trade scenario that could reshape the Cubs’ pitching staff for years to come.

The Cubs are in desperate need of bullpen help and another reliable starting pitcher, and two names stand out as possible solutions: Mason Miller and Nick Pivetta. Both pitchers faced the Cubs in the 2025 Wild Card Series, and both made a major impression.

💥 Could the Cubs trade for Mason Miller, one of the most dominant high-velocity bullpen arms in baseball?
💥 Is Nick Pivetta the rotation stabilizer the Cubs need to compete in October?
💥 What would the Padres demand in return, and are the Cubs willing to pay the price?

We dive into:

  • Mason Miller’s electric 2025 season and postseason dominance

  • Nick Pivetta’s ace-level performance and playoff start vs Chicago

  • Realistic trade packages the Padres could ask for

  • Whether the Cubs should cash in prospects to win now

  • How these moves could set the Cubs up long-term

This episode asks the big question Cubs fans are debating right now — do you build patiently, or go all-in?
