Episode Notes

Amid a wave of pitching injuries and a few hitting slumps, the Cubs are in a relatively good position at this point of the season. How are they doing it? The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney explain the roster-building philosophy and personnel decisions that are paying off right now. Plus more on how Moisés Ballesteros is being developed at the major-league level and why Craig Counsell was looking up at the Wrigley Field press box after a recent in-game move.
