The Just Baseball Show

Peter & Jack welcome Aram on to try and make the 2022 Chicago Cubs a winner. It's challenging to say the least, but with a few major moves, we could see them contend in the NL sooner rather than later. They already signed Marcus Stroman... is Carlos Correa next?

One of the worst projections ever, as the Giants finished atop the NL West with a 107-55 record. This team lost some stars, and the roster isn't quite what it was last year. But you can't count them out, especial...
