In the first hour, Laurence Holmes reacted to a busy day of White Sox news. They traded reliever Craig Kimbrel to the Dodgers for outfielder AJ Pollock, reliever Garrett Crochet is headed for Tommy John surgery and the team avoided arbitration with ace Lucas Giolito.

The Cubs ended their 11-game losing streak Wednesday night at Wrigley Field - could this be the start of a hot stretch for the team? The schedule is certainly in their favor.

Tony Andracki and Andy Martinez dissect the win, put the 11-game losing streak into perspective and dive into the next few weeks that will dictate the future of the franchise.

Is Jed Hoyer's mind already made up on what path his front office should take at the deadline? What has to happen for the Cubs to get back into the race and become buyers? If they do become sellers, who goes at the deadline?

We also hear from Champ Pederson, Joc's older brother, on receiving his World Series ring before Thursday's game and what that moment meant to him.

Plus, our panel zooms out on a difficult month of June for the Cubs and how the team has been able to stay afloat in the playoff race despite facing elite opponents and enduring grueling road trips.

Cole Wright, Ryan Sweeney and Tony Andracki analyze the first week of the 2021 season and what we learned about this Cubs team.

What takeaways are there from the offense's early performance? Will this rotation continue to surprise people? How has David Ross handled rotations for the position players?
