Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The Cincinnati Reds look to capitalize on the resurgent start from Hunter Greene on Friday that left them in position to claim the series against the Chicago Cubs with a victory on Saturday. Getting the best from lefty Nick Lodolo would go a long, long way towards making that happen. Javier Assad starts for the […]
The Thome legacy continues on the South Side, as Chicago used their newly-acquired 34th overall pick to select infielder Landon Thome, the son of White Sox legend and Hall-of-Famer, Jim Thome. In a swap on Friday evening, GM Chris Getz traded IF Jacob Gonzalez and RHP Brandon Eisert to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for […]
Go get ‘em, Javier.
The White Sox are simply addicted to middle infielders at this point, using their third selection of three so far in the draft to snag Magnolia Heights (Miss.) H.S. second baseman Cole Prosek with the 41st pick in the MLB draft. Prosek is a bat-first infielder who just this year started catching, which adds an […]
It’s back-to-back arms for the White Sox, winding up Day 1 of the draft by picking Eric Segura, a swingman righty out of Oregon State University with the 105th selection. This is the first lower-reaching pick the White Sox have made on the day — Segura was the 196th-ranked play on MLB’s draft board — […]
An NFL ranking of the league's top tight ends reinforces why the Chicago Bears have little incentive to trade Cole Kmet despite ongoing speculation.
With their fifth pick of the Draft, 126th overall, the Cubs selected righty Dylan Marionneaux out of Northwestern State. I know nothing about him other than his name and position, so I’ll provide more details at another time. The post Cubs Select RHP Dylan Marionneaux with 126th Pick appeared first on .
The Chicago Cubs' top selection this year was Ole Miss right-hander Cade Townsend with the No. 23 overall pick.
At last, the White Sox select a non-middle infielder, adding 21-year-old righthander Joey Volchko to the 2026 draft class. Volchko originally went to Stanford before transferring to Georgia, where he has been a dominant addition to the Bulldogs starting rotation. The righty is currently listed as the 68th-best prospect via MLB’s rankings, making him the […]
Bears Bears HC Ben Johnson has been hard on his players so far this offseason, and DE Montez Sweat spoke about his experience with Johnson as a coach. “I don’t think there’s any way you can cut corners and expect to win on Sundays,” Johnson said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “Training camp’s a big part […] The post NFC Notes: Ben Johnson, Daniel Whelan, Bears, Lions, Packers appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
With their fourth pick in the 2026 Draft, the Cubs took big righty Carson Jasa out of Nebraska. He took a big step forward as the Huskers’ ace this season, but his mid-90s fastball needs some work to get outs in the professional ranks. We’ll have a more thorough breakdown of the day’s picks later. The post Cubs Take RHP Carson Jasa with 98th Pick appeared first on .
After grabbing Mississippi right-hander Cade Townsend in the first round, the Cubs stayed in the SEC in the second round, grabbing one of the best available power hitters in Texas A&M outfielder Caden Sorrell Sorrell was one of the better college power hitters last year, hitting 23 home runs for the Aggies, which tied for […]
Roch Cholowsky was the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB draft on Saturday afternoon. Cholowsky and his family hosted a draft party at Trophy Bar in Chandler, Arizona and were seated in comfortable chairs in front of multiple television…
Based on ESPN reports of a meeting between NBA free agent Jonathan Kuminga and Lakers, the Bulls have a great opportunity to facilitate a Kuminga deal to L.A.
Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (48-44) put up 14 hits against 10 from the Sounds (53-29), but Charlotte somehow scored just two runs, losing their third game of the series, 4-2. Seriously, it feels like you would have to try not to score if you have that many hits, but as we’ve learned […]
Historically speaking, the White Sox haven’t generated much value from their second-round picks. Terry Forster massed 20.4 WAR over his playing career, including 12 with the White Sox, and you have to go down to Jake Petricka and his 1.8 WAR to find the next player who can say the same. Jeff Weaver and Johnny… The post White Sox select Cole Prosek in second round of 2026 MLB draft appeared first on Sox Machine .
Once again, the White Sox offense was almost nonexistent against a decent but unspectacular lefty starter. The key point, though, is the “almost.” The Sox only managed five hits against Gage Jump and two (Sacramento?) relievers and only drew two walks and struck out 11 times, but fortunately one of the walks came before one […]
First baseman Myles Bailey was a top 150 draft prospect coming out of high school in 2024, and the White Sox took him in the 20th round. He opted to honor his commitment to Florida State, where he routinely mashed baseballs. The South Side’s loss is the North Side’s gain, as the Cubs now have … The post Cubs Take 1B Myles Bailey at Pick 75 appeared first on .
The Athletics took on the Chicago White Sox, looking to even up this series and force a rubber match tomorrow. The White Sox prevailed 1-0 in a tightly contested game, securing the series victory. The A’s had multiple chances to score in this matchup, but failed countless times to get the big hit the club […]
If you count Jacob Lopez's work opening for the A's on Friday along with Gage Jump's start against the White Sox today, left-handed starters have held the White Sox to two runs over 24 ⅔ innings over the last five games. Fortunately, one of those runs came in Saturday's game, and that run was enough to win it. The post White Sox 1, Athletics 0: The bare minimum works appeared first on Sox Machine .
With their second pick in the 2026 Draft, the Cubs selected outfielder Caden Sorrell from Texas A&M. Ranked No. 33 on MLB’s draft prospects list, Sorrell fits the club’s general preference for college bats. This looks like a tremendous value pick for them, and we’ll have more on Sorrell soon. The post Cubs Select OF Caden Sorrell with No. 62 Pick appeared first on .
The NHL’s off-season is a time of optimism for every team. However, the Chicago Blackhawks got bad news on the injury front with a major injury to star center Connor Bedard. With Bedard on the sidelines, the Hawks’ 2026-27 season could be in trouble before it begins.
Just prior to this preview posting, the Cubs announced they had activated Phil Maton from the 15-day injured list. To make room for Maton on the 26-man active roster, Jake Woodford was designated for assignment. The latter move leaves an open spot on the 40-man roster. Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Reds lineup: Javier Assad, RHP […]
After being blanked in the opener, the Cubs need to strike back tonight to even the series and pick up a little steam heading into the break. I’m tied up with other baseball obligations, so there are no notes today. Let’s just hope the offense shows up. First pitch is at 6:10pm CT on Marquee … The post Chicago Cubs Lineup (7/11/26): Assad Starting as Cubs Seek to Score Lodolo Prices appeared first on .
Tom Brady's latest comments about Joe Thuney perfectly reinforce why Ryan Poles made the All-Pro guard a cornerstone of the Chicago Bears rebuild around Caleb Williams.
