    Cubs news and notes: Freddy Peralta trade, Jon Lester’s Hall of Fame case and more

    As subzero weather grips Chicago, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney are looking forward to spring training in Arizona and what’s next for the Cubs. In this episode, the two beat writers analyze the Peralta deal and what it means for the Brewers and the rest of the National League. Another Cooperstown election and the 10-year reunion of the 2016 World Series team prompts a question: Will anyone from that group make the Hall of Fame?

    Cubs trade rumors: What’s next for Matt Shaw and Nico Hoerner?

    It could be nothing. But this is a front office that is always willing to listen, never viewing a player as untouchable. And the Cubs are clearly signaling that they’re not yet done with their offseason moves. So where does that leave Shaw and Hoerner now that the Cubs have a potential surplus of infielders after the addition of Alex Bregman?

    What we’re hearing: Kyle Tucker’s decision and the futures of Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw

    Now that the Tucker saga has a predictable ending – the top free agent is heading to Dodger Stadium – The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney give some insights into why the Cubs seemed to move on a long time ago. Closing Alex Bregman’s five-year, $175 million deal certainly took a lot of heat off the Cubs organization leading into its annual winter convention. But the front office also hasn’t yet shut down any of the trade speculation surrounding Hoerner, Shaw and a potential surplus of infielders. North Side Territory, your offseason home for Cubs news and analysis, gets into all of those angles and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
