As you certainly know, the Cubs are televising very few games this spring. The good news, such as it is, is that going forward there are just two spring games remaining that will have no TV or radio coverage — Tuesday, March 10 at the Rangers, and Wednesday, March 11 vs. the Royals at Sloan […]
Three years ago, the Dodgers took a chance on outfielder Jason Heyward after a disappointing finish to his seven-year tenure with the Chicago Cubs.

Somehow, despite at last check this was a Spring Training game, the White Sox were held to one hit, a Brooks Baldwin single, through seven innings. But then, given the state of Chicago pitching tonight, the lack of offense wasn’t the major concern, just an embarrassing one. The game opened with three straight doubles cracked […]
After granting linebacker Tremaine Edmunds permission to seek a trade last week, it’s now being reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Chicago Bears are releasing him. Finding a suitor for Edmunds proved too difficult as he was in the final year of his contract with a relatively small dead cap hit ($2.4M). Moving on […]

Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Well, that was a punch in the gut, wasn’t it? We were all shocked as news leaked on Tuesday that Drew Dallman, the Bears’ 27-year-old center, was retiring from the NFL. Dalman, who signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Bears last offseason after four years in Atlanta, was a […]
Record 7-5. Change on 2025: +1.5. 5-inning record: 3-8-1. Well, that five-game winning streak sure was nice while it lasted.

But he was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, skating opposite Sam Rinzel. The forwards were also moved around now that neithe...
