Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

I'm your host James Anderson, and I'm joined this week by Sarah Sanchez, the lead voice at Bleed Cubby Blue.

I was fortunate enough to get to meet Sarah for the first time at First Pitch, Arizona this past weekend.

But as is always the case at first pitch,

you just never have enough time to chat with everyone you want.

And so I'm really excited to get Sarah on the pod to talk Cubs

and really kind of go in depth with some Cubs talk.

So thanks for joining me, Sarah.

How are you doing?

I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me. I always love talking about the Cubs,. So thanks for joining me, Sarah. How are you known? I'm doing great.

Thank you so much for having me. I always love talking about the Cubs, even when they're

disappointing me. Well, they, you know, in terms of teams that were bad last year, I think there's

a lot of just very interesting pieces that are kind of maybe ascended last year and maybe there might be another level there

or they're players that were really excited to see debut this year.

But I kind of want to first get your take or your kind of prediction in terms of how you

think the Cubs will handle this off season and whether you think they are going

to try to take a big step forward next season or maybe just kind of use next season as another

opportunity to kind of get their young players some reps and still kind of feel out who's going to

be a part of the next great Cubs team. Yeah, that's an awesome question to start. So keep in mind that the Chicago

Cubs team last year was not close to contending. I worked on a piece during the playoffs that

looked just at position players to start. I'm working on a piece with starting pitchers that

will come out probably in the next couple of weeks that really just compared the amount of value they got from those position players
