The Cubs' arbitration debacle with Kyle Tucker

In season 4, episode 3, Crawly and Dustin discuss the Cubs failing to reach a salary agreement with newly acquired star outfielder Kyle Tucker in the arbitration process before the deadline last Thursday, leading the sides to exchange figures that sit $2.5 million apart. Crawly then talks with Matt Trueblood of North Side Baseball about his article on how Cubs lead executive Jed Hoyer is approaching the arbitration process with Tucker, the possibility of Tucker signing a long-term extension and what the club’s next move may be. Later, Crawly and Dustin discuss the latest MLB news, including movement in the relief market, Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki’s free agency and the Cubs Convention app being released.
