The Cubs have a new manager in Craig Counsell as the offseason kicks off and the Cubs Weekly Podcast broke it all down from Arizona at the General Manager Meetings. Andy Martínez and Bruce Levine share why Jed Hoyer felt now was the time to pull the trigger and hire Counsell as their skipper. The pair discuss why the Cubs felt he was the right choice and how difficult it was to part ways with David Ross.

Later in the podcast, the pair recap agent Scott Boras’ press conference, share some of his best one-liners and discuss the Cubs’ interest in Cody Bellinger. Levine offers some insight on the Cubs’ offseason plans. They also assess Christopher Morel’s move to first base in the Dominican Winter League.

We will have new episodes of the Cubs Weekly Podcast each week throughout the offseason. Subscribe here:
