Brett and Sahadev make their triumphant return! And it only took about 10 weeks... After getting some dad talk out of the way, the guys discuss the issues that have plagued the Cubs early on, how some have turned of late and how they'll address others going forward. It's good to be back.

After a bit of a break -- for various reasons -- Brett and Sahadev are back right for one final 2016 pod.

They also talk about Brett's, um, injuries and wish all the listeners a wonderful New Year.

The guys discuss what little things the team can do over this span to make sure they have the best team possible heading into October, including Contreras catching Arrieta and maximizing the usefulness of the bullpen.
