Sean and Ryan question the sincerity of Addison Russell's first in-person statement to the media since his domestic violence suspension, discuss the impact a rebound season from Tyler Chatwood or Jose Quintana could bring to the Cubs in 2019, and new reliever Brad Brach's comments on the current free agent process in the 1st segment. Later, Ben Zobrist's arrival to Spring Training has been reportedly delayed for personal reasons, but rumors are out there saying the Cubs are engaged with free agent reliever Craig Kimbrel and Zobrist may need to be moved to make the deal work for their budget. Speaking of the budget, Tom Ricketts gave his state of address talk to the team and later spoke to the media, explaining the team "doesn't have anymore money" as their reason for not spending this off-season. And we wrap up the show with a few Cubs bullets.
