Should The Cubs Extend Willson Contreras?, Chris Boden Interview (Sports Talk Chicago / WCKG 3-23-22)

On today’s show, host Jon Zaghloul explains why the Cubs must not extend Willson Contreras, and how keeping him can negatively affect their rebuild.

They discuss the Blackhawks’ big trades, and project a timeline of when they can be competitive again. They also talk about the Bears’ 2021 season, Justin Fields’ performance in his rookie year, and team expectations for 2022. Later in the interview, Chris recalls his time at SportsPhone, which helped in launching his career, plus recounts funny moments from his time hosting SportsNet Central!
