In the second hour, Matt Spiegel discussed the Cubs' trades of first baseman Anthony Rizzo to the Yankees and shortstop Javier Baez to the Mets. Each player made a strong impression in his debut for his new team. After that, Spiegel discussed how the White Sox will use right-hander Michael Kopech for the remainder of the 2021 season. Later, he broke down the White Sox's dynamic duo at the back end of their bullpen, where they have a pair of All-Star closers now in Craig Kimbrel and Liam Hendriks.
