Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted their daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about Bears coach Matt Nagy's comment that he's "proud" that his team is playing "meaningful" games in December. Should the Bears be proud given the expectations they had coming into the season? How meaningful are these games given the Bears' status as a .500 team? The guys then shared their level of concern that Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara missed practice again Tuesday. What are the best options defensively if Amukamara can't play? The morning crew also previewed the Bulls-Grizzlies game Wednesday. Memphis is 6-14 and will be without rookie guard Ja Morant due to lingering back spasms. Is this a must-win game for Chicago? Are there signs the Bulls are on the verge of a breakthrough? The guys also debated whether White Sox fans should be more excited about free-agent targets like right-hander Zack Wheeler or trade possibilities like Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson. Finally, the crew discussed the report by Jeff Passan of ESPN that described the Cubs as "manic" and committed to making a big trade for the sake of making a big trade. Does that sound like team president of baseball operations Theo Epstein? (12/4/19)
