The Cubs have been busy in the latter stages of the MLB offseason, including recent moves to acquire veteran reliever Ryan Pressly and infielder Jon Berti.

Andy Martínez and Tony Andracki analyze all the latest Cubs roster moves and explain how Pressly’s addition impacts the rest of the bullpen. Plus, the podcast duo assesses the Cubs offseason as a whole as Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins have worked to build a playoff team for 2025.

In the second half of the episode, Cubs Hall of Famer Shawon Dunston joins the podcast. Dunston touches on a variety of topics from Ryne Sandberg to Sammy Sosa to Cubs fans and how they embraced him during his time in Chicago.

In many ways, returning to Cubs Convention was just what Ryne Sandberg needed. As a guest on the Cubs Weekly Podcast, the Hall of Famer and Cubs legend shared what it was like to return to the annual fan fest and see the love and support from the fans.

Sandberg joined host Andy Martínez, providing an update on his health after announcing late last year that the cancer he had fought in 2024 had returned. Then, the second baseman recalled his statue unveiling day last June, where he was forever immortalized at Wrigley Field.

Later in the podcast, Sandberg recalled his playing days — sharing the impact that Larry Bowa had on his career, what it was like to be traded to Chicago and where in the world he was when he got the news.

“Ryno” then remembered June 23, 1984 — the “Sandberg Game” that launched him into stardom. He recalled how excited he and the Cubs were to be named the “Game of the Week” an honor they originally weren’t going to have until a game on the East Coast was rained out. Sandberg’s 2-homer game propelled him to fame and was the highlight of his MVP campaign.

Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki has whittled his teams down and the Cubs are reportedly not on it. Andy Martínez and Tony Andracki break down what it means for the Cubs and what comes next.

Plus, the Cubs were busy late in December and early in January, adding the likes of Vidal Bruján, Colin Rea, Caleb Thielbar and Matt Festa to the team while parting ways with Matt Mervis, Miles Mastrobuoni and Michael Arias.

The addition of Rea brings about several questions for the Cubs rotation while the bullpen is in a curious spot given the sheer number of players without minor-league options.

Spring Training is still a month away but there are interesting roster decisions coming for this Cubs team.
