Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a debate about whether third baseman Kris Bryant is the right answer for the Cubs at the leadoff spot. Is batting leadoff a waste of his power? Does Bryant's willingness to lead off speak to his eagerness to remain a Cub? Can he make himself too valuable to trade? The guys then discussed White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito's comment that him starting on Opening Day would be like "turning a page" for the organization. Is there any other choice for manager Rick Renteria? How much confidence should White Sox fans have in Giolito to repeat his ace status of 2019?

How would adding a seventh playoff team in the NFC affect the Bears in 2020? Later, the guys discussed the Bears' move to sign former Chiefs tight end Demetrius Harris and debated whether Bulls guard Kris Dunn has played his last game with the organization after being ruled out for at least the next four to six weeks due to a sprained MCL.
