In the second hour, Laurence Holmes took calls from Score listeners who reacted to the White Sox trading reliever Craig Kimbrel to the Dodges for outfielder AJ Pollock. Holmes then shared his thoughts on the Bulls star DeMar DeRozan scoring 50 points in the team's 135-130 overtime win against the Clippers on Thursday. Later, Holmes held the first installment of "What Laurence Learned" -- a week in review segment.

In the first hour, Laurence Holmes took calls from White Sox fans to get their thoughts on the team's offseason following manager Tony La Russa's recent comment that fans who want the team to sign a right fielder from outside the organization are "not White Sox fans."

In the second hour, Laurence Holmes was joined by LaMond Pope of the Tribune to discuss the latest news from White Sox camp, including newly signed reliever Joe Kelly's health and the team's plan for reliever Craig Kimbrel.

Dan Collins and Joey Gelman discuss the closer issues for the Sox and if Craig Kimbrel can turn his struggles around. They then talk about how after 100 + years, Wrigley Field is finally empty. They continue to bask in the positive Bulls Buzz (recorded before the Markkanen trade) and discuss the most important Chicago debate, Dalton vs. Fields.

This past week MLB Trade deadline expired and so did some legacy lineups
Chicago Cubs saw historic World Series champs players traded

• Jake Arietta's pain and realization of the end
  
  
• Trade deadline left many of us with a hangover
  
  
• Cubs: Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant,  Javy Baez & Craig Kimbrel trades. 
  
  
• Did president Jed Hoyer offer reasonable extensions or merely insult players with poor insulting contracts that resulted in trades?
  
  
• Jed Hoyer's side of the story.  ". . . incredibly proud of what we accomplished, but the nature of our sport is there are cycles and we were at the end of the service time clock with these players . . . "
  
  
• Anthony Rizzo switches from Cub blue to Yankees pinstripes
  
  
• Jed Hoyer questions players sincerity in desire to stay with Cubs, "I don't know why these guys did not want to sign  . . . "
  
  
• Anthony Rizzo requests "Goldschmidt" style extension and Cubs reply with 50% of  his asking price.
   
• We look to Writer, Sara Sanchez, "Bleed Cubbie Blue" for some early guidance before trades. @BCB_Sara  on Twitter
  
  
• We discuss Ryan Anthony Dreyer from "On Tap Sports Net"  for Cubs fan call for Ricketts to sell the Cubs in January
  
  
• Anthony Rizzo on fire with Yankees breaking new first 6 game records
  
  
• Kris Bryant - We felt Cubs treated him poorly on service time. He should flourish with SF Giants
• Craig Kimbrel moves across town from Cubs to White Sox
  
  
• Nationals trading like an auction block - much more transparent about trading players with expiring contracts.  Max Scherzer, Brad Hand, Yan Gomes, Daniel Hudson, Kyle Schwarber, Josh Harrison,  Jon Lester
  
  
• Nationals GM, Mike Rizzo, makes difficult decisions
  
  
• Nationals did have 1.5 years remaining control of Trea Turner
  
  
• Abuse of Minor league Players continues
  
  
• USA Baseball Team in the Olympics advance
