Chicago is trying to build momentum early in the season, while the Mets are looking to prove they’re still contenders in a competitive NL landscape. Cody, Dan, and Matt Preview this weekend series at Wrigley Field. They also discuss the Cubs pitching depth and injuries sustained right now and debate the modern-day game and the league in the past. To end the show, they discuss Nico Hoerner hot start and his current value. While he may not be the flashiest name on the roster, his long-term value is becoming harder to ignore. Hoerner’s elite contact skills, low strikeout rate, and defensive versatility make him a high-floor player in today’s game. This weekend’s series should give us another glimpse at where the Cubs stand—and just how important players like Hoerner are to their long-term success. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP:  https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.  Chicagowindowguys.com Make sure to subscribe to... ✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered ✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈 ✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀 All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .","meta_description":"The Cubs head to New York for a weekend showdown with the Mets.
