With a much-anticipated MLB lockout looming, how will Jed Hoyer approach the offseason, and will the Cubs look to make their biggest moves before a potential work stoppage?

TIMESTAMPS

0:00 Brewers one win away from first World Series

18:50 Jed Hoyer's offseason approach

33:50 Tommy Hottovy and John Mallee return to coaching staff

47:20 John Schriffen officially out as White sox broadcaster

The Cubs have navigated this situation before. In 2021, Chicago signed Marcus Stroman before the lockout began, then made a major splash by signing Seiya Suzuki in the spring after the lockout ended. Could we see a similar strategy this time around? Will Hoyer be aggressive early, or will Cubs fans have to wait for the market to reopen?

We also discuss the Cubs' decision to retain Tommy Hottovy and John Mallee on the coaching staff and what that means.

And with the World Series near it's end, we have to ask: How must Craig Counsell be feeling watching the Brewers compete for the championship? What can the Cubs learn from watching baseball's biggest stage, and how close are they to building a team capable of getting there themselves?
