The Cubs have been extremely quiet this offseason so we examine the fit for a pair of intriguing free agents: Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman.

Andy Martínez and Tony Andracki explain why Chapman might not make the most sense for the Cubs in the long-term, even though he would be a big upgrade in the near future. A big part of that is because of what the Cubs have in house to cover third base - both already in the major leagues and coming up through the farm system.

The panel also debates where Mike Tauchman fits on the 2024 Cubs as well as how a pair of active teams this offseason (Diamondbacks, Pirates) affect the Cubs moving forward.

Plus, we look back at the Top 10 Cubs games of the 2023 season, which air on Marquee Sports Network each night from Dec. 22-31.
