Season 2 rolls on with Episode 2 of Club 1:20, and the conversation gets bigger — not just about the Cubs, but Chicago sports as a whole.

This week, Nate and Neil take a step back, zoom out, and then drill right back into the North Side.

On today’s lineup card:

• Buzzing Around Town: Are we living in a golden age of Chicago sports — or just riding offseason optimism?
• Damn the Dodgers: Here we go again. Are the Dodgers ruining baseball… or forcing teams like the Cubs to finally go all in?
• Rotation Reality Check: Where does the Cubs rotation actually rank in the National League?
• Free Agent Big Board: Who’s left, who fits, and what to make of the Bellinger, Valdez, and Gallen rumors.
• Topic of the Week – All In or All Smoke: Did the Cubs truly go all in this offseason — or does it just look aggressive on paper?

Season 2 of Club 1:20 starts with a bang — and the Cubs look like a team done waiting.

In Season 2, Episode 1, Nate and Neil break down a franchise-shifting offseason that may have changed the Cubs’ competitive timeline overnight.

This week’s lineup card:

• MIA Till Miami: New year, new ace? Jed Hoyer flips the Cubs’ #1 prospect to land Edward Cabrera. Bold move or risky bet?
• Big Bat Hunter: It took two tries, but Jed finally bags Bregman. Persistence pays off… or did the Cubs overreach?
• Elephant(s) in the Room: Nico Hoerner trade rumors resurface (again), and the Matt Shaw situation gets complicated fast.
• Who’s Next: Is Jed done making major moves — or is there still another shoe waiting to drop?
• Topic of the Week – Defer or Die: Has Tom Ricketts abandoned a long-held core principle, or is deferred money simply the new MLB reality?
