Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about whether the Cubs will be dramatically different following the trade deadline passing Wednesday afternoon. And are new relievers David Phelps and Derek Holland enough to fortify an ailing and unreliable bullpen? The guys then discussed whether there's anything to White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's contention that top prospect Luis Robert would be promoted soon if he continues to dazzle at Triple-A Charlotte and explored whether the team will look to the minors to fill its fifth starter role or try right-hander Carson Fulmer again.
