Dallas Danger and Brian Logan, aka the Sea Lion, are here to break down the implications for the Cubs' bullpen and their strategy in the high-stakes NL Central race. And let's not forget Rex, our cheerful studio dog, who lightens the mood with his canine charm.
Spring training's just around the corner, and the anticipation is palpable, especially with the Cubs and Dodgers set to face off in Tokyo. We've got our eyes on Japanese pitching sensations like Shota Imanaga and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and we're keen to discuss the unexpected drama involving Shohei Otani's former interpreter, Ipe Mizuhara.

We also sprinkle in some lighter sports rumors, like the absurdity of dog race betting, to keep things entertaining.
