Description

The Chicago Cubs have extended veteran pitcher Colin Rea, keeping him in Chicago for the 2026 season and possibly beyond. What does this move mean for the Cubs’ starting rotation and pitching depth moving forward? Free agency begins this afternoon. Now the game of chess begins! CHGO Cubs host Luke Stuckmeyer and guest Jordan Bernfield hand out report card grades for Rea’s 2025 season and break down where he fits alongside Cade Horton, Matthew Boyd, Ben Brown, and Shota Imanaga. Plus, with today marking the deadline to extend Shota Imanaga the qualifying offer, they discuss how that decision could shape the Cubs’ 2026 pitching plans.
