The Chicago Cubs may be playing the waiting game as they monitor Japanese pitching star Tatsuya Imai, with reports indicating the Cubs and Yankees are finalists for his services. On the CHGO Cubs Related, hosted by Corey Freedman and Brendan Miller, the crew debates whether the front office is holding off on a major financial commitment until after the New Year, as Imai’s January 2 decision deadline approaches. With the Cubs’ 40-man roster still flexible and five open spots even after signing Tyler Austin to an MLB contract, we discuss how this impacts the roster around core players like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ, and the direction set by GM Craig Counsell. Are bigger Cubs moves still on the way once Imai makes his decision?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
