Mike Mulligan and David Haugh opened their show by reacting to former MLB pitcher CC Sabathia's rant about White Sox manager Tony La Russa failing to support rookie designated hitter Yermin Mercedes in a dustup with the Twins earlier in the week. Later, they conducted the 5 at 5, where they hit on the biggest storylines of the day, including whether the Cubs will buy or sell at the trade deadline and how much they'll miss outfielder Jason Heyward after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain.
