🚨 SKUBAL TO THE CUBS?! MIKE CALLS BS ON THE RUMORS! | Chicago Cubs Central
🚨 TARIK SKUBAL TO THE CHICAGO CUBS?! MIKE ISN'T BUYING IT! 🚨
Could the Chicago Cubs actually pull off a blockbuster deal for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal? MLB reporter Patrick Mooney has suggested that the Cubs shouldn't be counted out of the conversation. But Mike has a BIG problem with that idea!
Welcome back to Chicago Cubs Central, where we break down the latest Cubs rumors, news, and everything happening around the North Side!
In this episode, Mike dives into the growing speculation surrounding a potential Tarik Skubal deal and explains why he isn't convinced the Cubs are serious contenders to land the superstar left-handed pitcher.
⚾ IN THIS EPISODE:
🔥 THE SKUBAL-TO-CHICAGO RUMORS
Patrick Mooney has indicated that the Cubs shouldn't be completely ruled out of the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes. Could there be something real behind the speculation, or is this another rumor that Cubs fans should approach with caution?
💰 MIKE CALLS BS!
Let's talk about the money. Skubal is the type of pitcher who could command an enormous contract and require a significant trade package. Is Chicago really prepared to pay that price? Mike explains why he doubts the Cubs' willingness to make the kind of financial commitment and blockbuster deal it would take.
📉 ARE THE CUBS REALLY WILLING TO GO ALL IN?
The Cubs need elite pitching to compete with baseball's best. But there's a difference between being mentioned in rumors and actually making a franchise-altering move. Would ownership approve the spending necessary to bring Skubal to Chicago?
🤔 SHOULD CUBS FANS BELIEVE THE HYPE?
Would Tarik Skubal transform the Cubs into legitimate World Series contenders? Or should fans expect the front office to pursue a more affordable alternative?
Mike gives his honest take on the rumors, the financial realities, and what this potential deal could mean for the future of the Chicago Cubs.
👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Do you believe the Cubs could land Tarik Skubal?
Would you trade a major prospect package AND pay Skubal a massive contract?
Is ownership willing to spend what it takes to win a World Series?
Should the Cubs go all in or look for another ace?

JED HOYER ADMITS IT: Cubs Have a BIG Problem! What Happens Next?
The Cubs' 2026 season is over — and Jed Hoyer is NOT hiding from what went wrong.
In his end-of-season press conference, Hoyer made some stunning admissions about the Cubs' collapse, the bullpen, Edward Cabrera, the organization's pitching development and what could be a very different Chicago Cubs team in 2027.
Mike Jones breaks down Hoyer's biggest comments and asks the question every Cubs fan should be asking:
DO YOU STILL TRUST JED HOYER TO FIX THIS TEAM?
Hoyer admitted, “I did a poor job on the bullpen this year — full stop,” while also saying the Cubs need to examine every part of their pitching operation — from scouting and player development to major-league acquisitions.
Then there's Edward Cabrera. Hoyer said, “We struggled with Edward,” raising an even bigger question: Did the Cubs fail to get the most out of a talented pitcher?
And Hoyer's warning for 2027 may be the biggest story of all:
“The team's going to look and feel different next year.”
Mike also dives into:
🔥 Why Hoyer believes the Cubs' pitching problems are ORGANIZATIONAL
🔥 The bullpen disaster and Hoyer taking responsibility
🔥 Edward Cabrera and whether the Cubs failed to maximize his talent
🔥 The uncertainty surrounding Cade Horton, Justin Steele and Ben Brown
🔥 What happens with Shota Imanaga, Kevin Gausman, David Peterson, Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki
🔥 Why Pete Crow-Armstrong remains a massive part of the Cubs' future
🔥 Matt Shaw potentially getting a bigger role in 2027
🔥 Alex Bregman's disappointing finish
🔥 Why the Cubs' offense disappeared against San Diego
🔥 What the Cubs need to do this offseason
🔥 And the biggest question of them all: Can Jed Hoyer fix the problems he admits he helped create?
The Cubs believed this team could win. They pushed their chips in. Now, after falling short, Hoyer says the failure will “gnaw at us for a long time.”
The offseason has officially begun.
What do YOU think? Do you still trust Jed Hoyer to build a championship-caliber Cubs team?
