Where does Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch actually rank among NL first basemen? On this episode of the CHGO Cubs Podcast, Luke Stuckmeyer, Joey Christopoulos, and Justin Roman break down Busch’s 2026 outlook and stack him up against the top first basemen in the National League. The guys debate Busch’s offensive upside, defensive value, and whether he belongs in the same tier as names like Freddie Freeman, Matt Olson, Pete Alonso, and Paul Goldschmidt. Is Michael Busch already a top-tier NL first baseman — or does he still have something to prove? How important is Busch’s production to the Cubs’ lineup this season, and what would a breakout year mean for Chicago’s postseason hopes?
