Ian Happ over the last four seasons:
119 wRC+
13.3 WAR
86 HR
That’s clearly a good player.
Yet he might be the most controversial Cub.
I tried to figure out why in CubsPS+ Episode 115.

Thank you so much! It's good to be back. New episode this weekend.
I’m back - Ep 114 is out. I stopped waiting for perfect and started doing.
Offseason analysis, rotation reality, and a bigger question: are the Cubs choosing a direction, or just improving around the margins?
Are you ready? I’m ready. HERE! WE! GO!

Cubs clinched after a season everyone swore was over many times. No epic streaks, just steady chaos. Clinched in Pittsburgh (as usual).
I went live with @cody__cubs while the team partied. Even Counsell cracked a smile.
🍾 CubsPS+ Ep.113

Cubs aren’t collapsing — but they may be stuck in baseball purgatory.
@IvyFutures joined Ep 112 to talk draft, deadline, prospect volatility and why Owen Caissie’s K-rate drop is no joke.
🔥 Plus: draft steals, bullpen scraps, and Matt Shaw being HIM.

I have one from 2015 that I will do this offseason. First series I took my boys to and the last time I went to a game with my parents. Wanted to do it last offseason, but too much personal life stuff taking my focus.
I did, it was excellent!
Thanks for listening! Good for you for sticking through. 1984 was definitely very much right in my formative years!
Ryno wasn’t just a Hall of Famer, he was my guy.
In Ep 111, I reflect on what #RyneSandberg meant to me as a kid, a coach and a dad. From backyard grounders to Cooperstown, his impact is everywhere.
His legacy lives on. #bleacherbunch #Cubs #CubsPSPlus

Ryno was my guy. I started watching the Cubs his rookie year and was 10 when he broke out and became MVP. My best friend and I always said in HS that we’d go to his inauguration someday…and we did. Thanks for a lifetime of memories, Ryno. RIP to the GOAT.
Pete Crow-Armstrong isn’t just fast, he’s warping time & space in center field.
Episode 110 is a love letter to PCA, swagger & every Cub who ever gave us goosebumps.
Get nostalgic. Get hyped. Are you ready? I’m ready. #PCA #Cubs @bleacherbunch.bsky.social

Why did Cade Horton stop at 79 pitches SIX times? 🤯
@cubsmith.bsky.social joins me to talk pitch counts, bullpen depth, and why scoring runs is actually… good?

Is this evidence of time travel? Glitch in the matrix? Looks like Pac-Man was created by teenagers playing whiffle ball with a pickleball.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, gives the Rockies a 9th consecutive loss
They’re now 4-0 this season when coming in with an 8-game losing streak
Yeah - the Alex Gonzalez game.
You’ll remember the visit forever! Hopefully the Cubs deliver!
Cubs are surviving a brutal April. The bullpen’s under fire. I dug into the blown saves, the numbers behind the panic and why this isn’t 2024 all over again (yet). Plus: Happy Lee Elia Day! #Cubs #BleacherBunch #CubsPSPlus @bleacherbunch.bsky.social 🎙️⚾️

Fun conversation with @cubspsplus.bsky.social -- we'll check back in later this season to see if our tweaks were good ideas or bad ones!
And yes, I obvi kept the Tucker trade :P
Cubs look good, but could they have been built differently? For Ep 107, @bcbsara.bsky.social & I re-do the Cubs’ offseason. Do we keep the Tucker trade? How did we load the rotation and bullpen? What other options did Jed have? Join us! @bleacherbunch.bsky.social

The Cubs are off to a quick start in the Cactus League, the Japan series will be here before we know it and there are some injuries already. How did Jed Hoyer do with this roster? In Episode 104, I walk through the offseason and grade it out. Join me!

Alex Bregman rumors are still flying - will he be a Cubs, Red Sox or Tiger? With that question still out there, the Cubs roster is not yet complete, but in Ep #103, I compare the 2024 bench to the options for 2025. Did Jed do enough? @bleacherbunch.bsky.social
podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
Ryan Brasier is a Cub. Will Alex Bregman be a Cub? What about Matt Shaw? All that plus what I got wrong in 2024. Join me for Episode #102! @bleacherbunch.bsky.social

With Pressly and Berti on board and active chatter around trades with San Diego and talks with David Robertson, the Cubs may not be done. In Ep 101, I talk about where the Cubs are and how they’re building this pitching staff brick by brick.
