Full Show — April 8, 2026

The Mully & Haugh Show delivers a compelling deep dive into the evolving landscape of Chicago sports, beginning with Michael Reinsdorf’s candid 30-minute Zoom press conference following the firing of AK and Mark Eversley. The hosts, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh, praise Reinsdorf’s rare accountability, transparency, and commitment to rebuilding trust within the Bulls organization. They explore the strategic implications of requiring future GMs to accept Billy Donovan as head coach—a move that narrows the candidate pool but underscores ownership’s confidence in Donovan’s basketball acumen. The discussion extends to the Cubs’ emotional response to Cade Horton’s season-ending injury, highlighting the team’s resilience and the shift in expectations from a World Series run to a more realistic 88-90 win season. The White Sox’s failed bullpen opener experiment with Grant Taylor is critiqued as a cautionary tale about short-term fixes undermining long-term strategy. Across all teams, a central theme emerges: organizational culture, communication, and adaptability are critical to sustainable success. The episode concludes with a reflective and hopeful tone, celebrating the Cubs’ recent offensive surge—including a season-high 16 hits and Armstrong’s first home run—while honoring the emotional toll of injury and the quiet strength of players like Dustin Rhodes, whose composure is attributed to personal discipline during Lent. The show underscores that rebuilding isn’t just about personnel changes, but about mindset, trust, and the ability to grow through adversity.
