The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously.

Mark Grody 0:30

Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time.

Layla Rahimi 0:38

It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye.

It is trade deadline day, and if you were sleeping, which you probably should have been, unlike me, up at 4 a.m. to read about the late-night White Sox trade. Yes, yes. It's that kind of day for us, okay? We're not sleeping. We're here to listen to the trades. Mets trade away reliever Huasco Brazovon to the White Sox in exchange for Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin. That was reported. But the big one, I think the biggest deal so far that has been made in this town is the Cubs getting starting pitching. They get a big name in Kevin Gossman. I think this is already a better deadline. I like this because it shows me that the Cubs front office. Jed Hoyer and company, they learned from last year and understood that the market wasn't what they thought it was going to be.

And this time maybe attacked it in a more prudent way because of the expectations of how many teams are still involved in talk of being in a playoff race. But when you ask the question off the top, can they do more? The answer is yes, and they should do more. Six hours later.

Layla Rahimi 1:50

The Cubs, a team who have blown very hot, sometimes cold this year. Jeff, it appears help is on the way. Kevin, the Cubs are having a hot deadline, I can tell you that. The latest acquisition in medicals right now, so this deal is not done, especially considering how much time he has spent on the injured list. But Clay Holmes, the starter with the New York Mets... is going to Chicago along with outfielder Tyrone Taylor. The Cubs have been looking for another starting pitcher. They got Kevin Gossman yesterday. They wanted to strengthen their rotation with two. You add that to Ryan Zephyrjohn as well. And the Cubs, who have been looking for pitching all season long, finally are getting it, Kevin, at this deadline.

Layla Rahimi 2:32

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

Mark Grody 2:36

Understand me? We back up. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.

OK, I'd say that's a pretty, pretty decent round of applause. This is the most active I've seen the Cubs in the 10 years I've been here at the deadline. And I say that saying, you know, RIP in respect to the 2016 deal that brought, for example, a role as Chapman. There's also the 2017 Quintana deal, which maybe I got a little out of pocket on whenever we did that on cable television.
