  • The best conversations on Cubs prospects

    This podcast is my go-to for Cubs minor league and prospect updates. Tons of great insight here! Greg’s podcast is in my regular rotation and I really enjoy the in-depth conversations, not just on top prospects, but also on players we don’t see in top 100 lists. This podcast is a must-add for Cubs fans.
