In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, we dive deep into the Cubs’ rumored interest in Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic, a former first-round pick coming off season-ending surgery. The Cubs have reportedly checked in on Bubic as a potential buy-low pitching option — but is he a smart upside play, or another bargain-bin gamble when Chicago needs REAL rotation upgrades?
We break down Bubic’s profile, his pre-injury improvements, his recovery timeline, and whether he could fit into the Cubs’ 2025 pitching plans.
Then we shift to a major topic stirring up the fanbase: Bruce Levine’s comments telling Cubs fans to “trust Jed and Carter” and ignore the noise.
Well… today we explain EXACTLY why Cubs fans should not blindly trust the front office right now.
From failed timelines to lack of big signings, to constantly “checking in” but never pulling the trigger — this episode lays out the truth.
