In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, we break down why bringing Caleb Thielbar back stabilizes the Cubs bullpen and what his 2025 regular season and playoff performance tells us about his role moving forward. From late-inning reliability to veteran leadership, Thielbar’s return could be a sneaky-important move for a Cubs team looking to contend.
We also take a deep dive into one of the most intriguing arms in the Cubs farm system — Jaxon Wiggins. We analyze his 2025 minor league numbers, pitch mix, velocity, and development path, and discuss whether Wiggins could realistically earn a call-up to the major league roster this season. Is he a future starter? A bullpen weapon? Or a name Cubs fans need to remember right now?
Plus:
⚾ Why Thielbar’s presence matters for young pitchers
⚾ What the Cubs need to see from Wiggins before promoting him
⚾ How bullpen depth impacts the Cubs’ long-term pitching plans
Let us know in the comments — should the Cubs give Jaxon Wiggins a shot in Chicago this year, or let him develop more in Triple-A?
