Subscribe to our NEW CHGO Cubs YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@CHGO_Cubs What is Edward Cabrera’s ceiling with the Chicago Cubs in 2026? On today’s CHGO Cubs Podcast, Luke Stuckmeyer, Joey Christopoulos, and Justin Roman break down what Cabrera could become in the Cubs’ starting rotation and whether his electric stuff can translate into true frontline starter production. The crew also takes a wider look at the Cubs’ overall pitching outlook for the 2026 season. Can Cade Horton continue his rise and establish himself as a rotation cornerstone? What should the expectations be for veterans Jameson Taillon and Shota Imanaga? And just how important is a healthy—hopefully returning—Justin Steele to the Cubs’ success? From pitch profiles and upside to command, durability, and rotation depth, this episode dives into how high the Cubs’ pitching ceiling really is—and what needs to go right for Chicago to contend in 2026.

Luke Stuckmeyer and Joey Christopoulos break down what the rankings mean, which Cubs prospects could rise in 2026, and how the state of the farm system impacts Chicago’s ability to compete in the NL Central on the CHGO Cubs Podcast.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
