The #chicagocubs won 92 games in 2025, and while their first playoff berth since 2020 was nice, fans want more. That starts with free agency and trades, but the #cubs have been one of #mlb least active teams. Why? Is there something up #jedhoyer’s sleeve? #kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss an offseason of frustration and if that narrative will change or remain the same on this edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast. #takethat Follow The REKAP® everywhere - https://linkt...

Gordon joins Kap LIVE from the MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando as things wrap up. They break down the Cubs’ moves — or lack thereof — and react to where the front office stands heading into the offseason. Plus, we hear from Craig Counsell on Shota Imanaga, Matt Shaw, Kyle Tucker, and what happened at the end of the 2025 season.

As the #mlbwintermeetings get set to take over #orlando next week, the #chicagocubs have thus far been relatively quiet this offseason. Off the board is #dylancease. Expected is a frenzy among teams vying to make a big splash next week with former #cubs #kyletucker and #kyleschwarber expected to be two of the biggest bats to sign elsewhere. And, after the cuts this week at #marqueesportsnetwork, what does that mean for the Cubs finances? #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss when, if...

The #chicagocubs got a jump on the relief market by adding veteran #philmaton on a 2-year deal. #kap is hearing that there is mutual interest in starter #dylancease. The #cubs need a high end starter and he’d fit the bill. Plus, Kap & Gordon Wittenmyer go deep into an article from The Athletic where #newyorkyankees owner #halsteinbrenner discusses the benefit of a salary cap in #mlb. So, is it realistic? #takethat ___________________________ UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS: 🦉Join us...

Kap and Gordon debate whether #shotaimanaga coming back on a one year deal is a good thing or a bad thing for the Cubs. Are the Cubs the new Settlers in town?

The #chicagocubs aren’t playing in the deep end of the pool when it comes to free agency and fans and others, including #kap, aren’t happy. #kyletucker is off to greener pastures as the #cubs zero in on starting pitching targets. Kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss who those targets are and why they can’t do more in free agency.

In a 'win or go home' Game 5 live from #milwaukee, the #chicagocubs sent opener #drewpomeranz to the mound against opener #trevormegill of the #milwaukeebrewers. In a tight game throughout, the #brewers rode 3 solo HRs into the 9th inning, as the #cubs managed just a solo shot from #seiyasuzuki. The Cubs just didn't get enough offense and the Brewers got just what they needed and rode their bullpen to advance to the #NLCS. #kap #guff and Gordon are here for the final b...

Talk about a response!! The #chicagocubs needed one in Game 4 to stay alive and they got it. #ianhapp crushed a 3-run HR in 1st (stop if you've heard this before) and #matthewboyd pitched into the 5th inning as the #cubs force a win or go home, deciding Gm. 5 on Saturday night in #milwaukee. #kap #guff and Gordon are back for live reaction from an electric #wrigleyfield. How about big nights from Happ, #mattshaw & #kyletucker? Three players fans haven't been ...

Nothing is ever easy with this #chicagocubs team. After taking a 4-1 in the 1st, the #cubs offense was shut down for most of the game as #jamesontaillon and the Cubs bullpen gutted their way through the game in a nail biter to the end. #kap, #guff and Gordon Wittenmyer have LIVE reaction from the #NLDS. The #brewers left the bases loaded in the 8th and #bradkeller attempted the 4-out save. Guff and Gordon are at #wrigleyfield with coverage from a raucous Wrigley. #tak...

The #chicagocubs certainly didn't HAVE to win Gm. 2 of the #NLDS against the #milwaukeebrewers, but at the same time, they kind of did. #seiyasuzuki delivered a 3-run HR in the 1st inning, but #shotaimanaga's 1st inning struggles continued, as he allowed a game tying 3-run HR by #andrewvaugh. #williamcontreras added a solo shot and #jacksonchourio hit a dagger off of #danielpalencia - another 3-run HR to put the #brewers up 7-3. The Brewers maneuvered a bullpen game, led by ...

Woof. This one got out of hand very early for the #chicagocubs. The #milwaukeebrewers tagged #matthewboyd in the 1st inning, eventually scoring 6 runs and knocking Boyd from the game. The scoring continued, and by the end of the 2nd inning, the #brewers held a 9-1 lead. #kap, #guff and Gordon Wittenmyer break down what went wrong and why, no matter how ugly it was in Gm. 1 of the #NLDS, the #cubs just have to flush this one and move onto Game 2 on Monday night. #taket...

The #chicagocubs and #sandiegopadres went wire to wire the entire series and just like the first two games, Game 3 came down to the end. The #cubs struck first with a pair of runs and it remained that way until the 7th, when #michaelbusch homered to give the #cubs a 3-0 lead. #jamesontaillon was nails, tossing 4 shutout innings and the bullpen did the rest. The #padres didn't get a good start from former Cub #yudarvish and the #padres spent the rest of the game playing catch...

The #chicagocubs had a chance to sweep the #sandiegopadres at #wrigleyfield in the #wildcard series at #wrigleyfield on Wednesday. #dylancease struck out 5 and was yanked in the 4th inning. The #padres bullpen went to work after that. #masonmiller threw 104mph and struck out 5. #mannymachado hit a HR that #kap and #guff are scratching their heads about. The reason? Why did #shotaimanaga face him? Imanaga came in in relief after #andrewkittredge allowed a ru...

The #chicagocubs are in the #wildcard series against the #sandiegopadres and are in the playoffs for the 1st time since 2020. #matthewboyd pitched into the 5th, #seiyasuzuki homered for the 5th straight game and #carsonkelly homered in his 1st postseason game. #nickpivetta was great, striking out 9, and then it got to the bullpens. #kap and #guff are with you for instant reaction and what's next as the Cubs and Padres square off Wednesday in Game 2. #takethat ...

The regular season has hit its final week and as #kap and Gordon record the newest podcast, the #chicagocubs haven't won since clinching a #wildcard berth a week ago in Pittsburgh! That leads the guys to discuss their concerns about the #cubs as the Wild Card series nears. What's the biggest concern? Is it #kyletucker and his calf? #cadehorton had his stiff back? #pca and his 2nd half struggles? All of the above? The pair discuss Cade Horton's impress...

The #chicagocubs are knocking on the door of their 1st postseason berth since 2020. They can clinch a #wildcard spot as early as Tuesday night. #kap and GW debate the strengths of a #cubs team headed to their first postseason in 5 years. Prior to that debate, Kap asks whether you can be a fan of a team while covering a team at the same time. Gordon says 'no', while Kap of course says, 'that's who I am.' However, Gordon gives the disclaimer that his job is differe...

The #chicagocubs announced on Wednesday that former star first baseman, #anthonyrizzo will officially retire on Saturday as a Chicago Cub and immediately become an ambassador. #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the honor and why this always felt like it was meant to be.
