CHICAGO – Both teams have played two games since everything went down (or didn’t) at the trade deadline, but there’s still plenty of chatter about it among the fan bases.
The White Sox chose only to add one bullpen pitcher – Jake Diekman – to their roster as they look to snap out of their season-long funk and make the playoffs for the third-straight year. Meanwhile, the Cubs didn’t trade Willson Contreras or Ian Happ at the deadline, leaving both players in a weird limbo until the end of a playoff-less season.
Reactions from both leaders of the clubs are featured in this edition of “The Afternoon Lineup” on WGN News Now.
