Best of 104.3 The Score

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about their level of trust in Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein. Should Epstein and the Cubs be committed to getting something in return for star third baseman Kris Bryant before he presumably leaves in free agency in 2021 or be committed to trying to win another World Series with Bryant before then? The guys then had a discussion about the Cubs' list of non-roster invitees to big league camp in spring training. Is reliever Brandon Morrow the most intriguing name? The morning crew also discussed whether the White Sox should be content with Danny Mendick and Leury Garcia holding down second base until touted prospect Nick Madrigal joins the big league roster. Or should they pursue a veteran infielder? The guys then debated whether all-time hits leader Pete Rose will ever be reinstated by MLB and whether he'll ever be considered a Baseball Hall of Fame candidate. Finally, the guys discussed whether Pistons guard Derrick Rose dropping out of the skills challenge and Bulls guard Zach LaVine's declining to compete in the dunk contest diminishes All-Star weekend in Chicago.

(2/5/20)

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with their reaction to the blockbuster trade agreement between the Dodgers and Red Sox that will send star outfielder Mookie Betts and left-hander David Price to Los Angeles. How could that trade impact star third baseman Kris Bryant's future with the Cubs? The guys then discussed the Cubs' interest in free-agent second baseman Jason Kipnis, as reported by Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. With young infielder Nico Hoerner the heir apparent at second base, would Kipnis be a welcome addition or an impediment to Hoerner's progress? The morning crew also had a conversation about the 2020 win projections recently released by USA Today Sports. The White Sox were predicted to finish third in the AL Central with an 83-79 record, while the Cubs were projected to finish fourth in the NL Central with an 82-80 mark. Will those projections be accurate? Will the White Sox have a better record than the Cubs? The Hall of Fame voter who didn't vote to elect Yankees legend Derek Jeter on his ballot was then a topic of conversation. Is the voter's decision to remain anonymous a cowardly act or merely a desire to avoid negative attention? Later, the guys had a discussion about the New York Times report that the Bulls consider guard Zach LaVine off-limits ahead of the trade deadline Thursday afternoon. Who's the organization's most valuable asset? Is LaVine the most untouchable player? (2/5/20)
