Cubs Related: A Chicago Cubs Podcast

Craig Counsell sounds off on what he calls a “bizarre” MLB roster loophole benefiting Los Angeles Dodgers, and it’s sparking major league-wide debate. Counsell questions how Shohei Ohtani’s two-way designation allows the Dodgers to effectively carry 14 pitchers while other teams are capped at 13. Is this an unfair competitive advantage or just smart roster construction within the rules? We break down the controversy, what it means for the Chicago Cubs, and how MLB may need to respond.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
