On this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike takes a hard look at the growing problems that continue to plague the Cubs and asks the question many fans are beginning to wonder: Did Jed Hoyer miss too many opportunities this offseason?

And what can Chicago do to fix these issues before they become season-defining mistakes? 🔥 Cubs offensive struggles with RISP 🔥 Starting pitching giving up too many home runs 🔥 Jed Hoyer's biggest offseason misses 🔥 Roster construction concerns 🔥 Trade deadline outlook 🔥 Cubs news, analysis, and reactions As the season enters a critical stretch, the pressure is mounting on the front office, coaching staff, and players alike.
