Description
When the histories of the post-deadline 2021 Cubs are written, they will not focus on the core-dismantling trades, or wallow in what-could-have-been longints, or traffic in Frank Schwindel jokes (don't hold us to that last one). They will, instead, highlight that August 2021 is when the Cubs became Willson Contreras' team. And if that's the case, then it's reasonable to expect him to get an extension sooner rather than later.
Brett and Patrick discuss Contreras' newfound outsize role on this episode of Onto Waveland, and the idea of Miguel Amaya being his backup in 2022. They also get into the White Sox series from last weekend and the potential monetary effects the new CBA could have on the Cubs' spending.

Cubs in Cleveland after the Postponed Series in St. Louis: The Cubs return to the field Tuesday after four days off because of COVID-related postponements in St. Louis. The Indians, too, have had their issues, with pitchers Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac in quarantine after breaking protocol and going out on the town in Chicago over the weekend. Brett Taylor, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney discuss that on this episode of Onto Waveland. They also muse about the possibility of last weekend's Cardinals series not getting made up, and the possibility that 7-inning doubleheaders benefit the Cubs. by Onto Waveland: A show about the Chicago Cubs
