After reviewing the Twins system last week, the boys are back to dig into the Cubs farm. JD and Jeremy talk to Matt Trueblood about his journey in baseball content creation and his new role as Managing Editor of North Side Baseball, Brewer Fanatic, and Twins Daily. The fellas then tackle the depth of the Cubs farm system and collective anxiety over a quiet start to the offseason before digging into individual prospects including PCA, Cade Horton, Jackson Ferris, Kevin Alcantara, James Triantos, and many more.
