Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The Chicago Bears didn’t do anything of significance at defensive end this offseason; instead, they are banking on third-year pro Austin Booker to provide a real complement to Montez Sweat. Sweat is a pretty good football player. He was selected as a Pro Bowler a couple of years ago, and his head coach feels he’s […]

Some reporters’ ears are still ringing from the concussive sounds of the high-fives Mike Shirley was giving out at the MLB Draft Lottery last December. Seven months and very few nights of seven hours of sleep later, the White Sox scouting director still professes enthusiasm about the highest profile assignment of his career to date.… The post White Sox scouting director Mike Shirley says No. 1 pick is down to 3: ‘I don’t know who it is yet, that’s the best part’ appeared first on Sox Machine .
Perspective Check: Four teams with more wins than the Cubs, 91.6 win pace. The Cubs and Phillies had been matching each other, seemingly daily. But the Phillies finally lost on a day when the Cubs won and so the Cubs now lead them by 1.5 games for the top Wild Card spot (though they own […]

ESPN insider Jeff Passan played the role of armchair general manager for multiple playoff contenders a little less than a month out from the MLB trade deadline.
The Chicago Bears are one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. One of just two charter members of the league still playing today (the other being the Cardinals, a somewhat less-storied franchise), the Bears have had a lengthy and stalwart kinship with the City of Big Shoulders. That could change. Bears ownership announced on June 5 that they are focusing their attention on building a new stadium that not only isn’t in Chicago, but isn’t in Illinois at all. “[T]he Chicago Bears Boar...
Dansby Swanson's recent surge gives the Cubs a rare opportunity to explore the trade market and potentially move one of the team's most difficult contracts.
The Cubs’ 9-7 win over the Orioles Wednesday evening, their third straight and 18th in their last 24, had a little bit of everything the 2026 season to date has provided. Lots of homers? Check. Some great defense? Check. Some dodgy relief work, pointing out the need for bullpen improvements? Double-check, because the Cubs came […]

Here, we take a look at some of the most noteworthy […]
Today’s Reflections Plenty has been written below about Matthew Boyd’s stellar performance Tuesday night. Not much was made about the team effort from the offense in the 5-2 game. Not a lot of glitz, but it needs to be mentioned. Alex Bregman, PCA, Dansby Swanson and Miguel Amaya each had two hits in the game. […]
It didn’t quite come with the new prospect smell of Boston Smith winning the White Sox’s minor league Player of the Month for June, but enough had changed under the hood with Pitcher of the Month Jairo Iriarte that his Zoom call served partially as a reintroduction to Chicago media members.

“The Cubs are good enough defensively. They don’t need an extra outfielder,” the commentator remarked during the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Cubs game on Wednesday. While the former put up a good fight, hitting 4 homers in response to the Cubs’ 5, the ‘extra outfielder’ grabbed the spotlight more than the scoreline. The Baltimore Orioles […] The post Fan Invades Field, Dances in Strange Scenes During Orioles’ Loss to Cubs appeared first on EssentiallySports .
