Rahimi Harrison-Grody on the score. That was a fifth straight win for the Cubs. 2-1 over the Mets in 10. As called by Zach Zabin and heard right here on 104.3, the score of the Cubs go for six straight as they host the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at 640. It appears to be a Colin Ray-Aaron Nola pitching situation, which would be a rematch. actually, of the most recent series in Philadelphia, where Colin Ray certainly got the best of Aaron Nola because the Cubs scored 10 runs in that game, which came in very handy. Before we get to more Cubs, we do have breaking news. Breaking news on the score, and Rahimi Harrison-Grody is sponsored by IDOT. Speeding in a work zone is a no-win. Mind the signs. Avoid the fines.

It is about the Chicago Bulls and Shams Sarania of ESPN. I shall now read what Shams is reporting. The Chicago Bulls have started the search process for the new head basketball of operations receiving permission to To interview Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd, Pistons Senior Vice President Dennis Lindsey, Hawks Senior Vice President Bryson Graham, Cavaliers GM Mike Gansey, and Spurs Assistant GM Dave Tlep. Sources told ESPN today. I'll read a couple more graphs here. The Bulls are also expected to speak with the co-head of CAA's basketball division, Austin Brown, regarding the vacancy, sources told ESPN. Interviews are expected to begin this week, sources said, and the team is aiming to hire its new decision maker just before or just after the mid-May draft combine deadline.

The Bulls made sweeping front office changes two weeks ago, firing Executive President of Basketball Operations Artur Karnaschovas and Mark Eversley on April 6th after a six-year run produced just one playoff appearance. And finally, as we know, and Shams writes it again, ownership has made it clear that the franchise wants to keep head coach Billy Donovan under any circumstances. Marshall Harris, what say you about these Bulls names?

Mark Grote 2:47

Well, I was waiting to hear from Billy Donovan that he wanted to continue on, but just having this as part of the reporting here from Shams tells us it sounds like Billy Donovan is staying with the Bulls and that he's not necessarily going upstairs and that perhaps he will be the head coach next season. Perhaps he stays on in an advisory role if he wants to step away from coaching, but it just sounds like he's staying with the Bulls. Why else would he be a part of this process?

Marshall Harris 3:12

That's a good question. And does he have, I heard, at least one report that he will be in on the interviewing, advising, consulting process, which, by the way, just makes for confusion to me when sports franchises do the thing where, and maybe the Bears, have that going on all of a sudden with ryan poles where the head coach has just as much power than the than his boss which to me is i don't think that's healthy i want the the guy that is making the personnel decisions to have complete autonomy um in those picks of course you talk to your coach but i don't know about all that

How has Caleb Thielbar stepped up as the Cubs' closer?

Mark Grote 3:50

Well, the follow-up story on this one, where you mention all the names of people who they are requesting to interview, the follow-up story will be who declined to interview for the Bulls job. And I think that will be the telltale sign of who might be comfortable working with Billy Donovan in a power structure in which Billy Donovan would have as much, if not more power than them. So that's a wait-and-see thing. But I'm glad there's progress being made. I'm just wondering if we'll hear from Billy Donovan before they select a front office exec or get clarity on his role going forward.

Marshall Harris 4:20

Yeah, and you know, it's funny. Billy Donovan's not stupid.
