Opening Day for the Chicago Cubs is 10 days away! That means they have some big decisions to make soon. The Athletic pointed out the team’s possible concerns about Keegan Thompson - but we have the Mayor’s back! Plus, the battle for the Cubs final starting rotation spot heats up in Arizona. Will it be Wesneski, Sampson or Assad? The only thing hotter will be our takes on this edition of the CHGO Cubs Podcast.
