MLB Trade Candidates — Earlier today, I wrote 1,300+ words on why the Chicago Cubs should be spending more money in free agency than they have historically. And even if you already agree (of course you do), you should check that one out. There’s some updated data which could be useful for any non-believers. But the funny thing is that the post started out as a draft for this article.
Basically, I wanted to explain why I felt the latest ranking of the top-40 trade candidates at MLB Trade R...
I really hate this part of this time of year. Organizational departures are inevitable over a large enough window of time, though, so you just have to accept that it’s going to happen periodically, and this time of year is most common.

Believe it or not, the Knicks have won a game, and it turns out the season isn’t over, and there are 76 more matchups left. Who would have thought! The Bulls, on the other hand, aren’t unbeatable anymore. Sorry, pals! Here’s what we heard after yesterday’s affair as we quickly transition to tonight’s matchup against […]
Anyone else still struggling to catch their breath after the final two and a half minutes of Sunday’s game in Cincinnati? It was an up-and-down game that saw eight lead changes, and when it felt like the Chicago Bears had all but salted the game away with just over two minutes remaining, the Bengals scored […]
Relative to their market size and generalized revenue opportunity, the Chicago Cubs are a financially conservative franchise. To be fair, they would tell you that “every” dollar that comes into the organization is turned back around and spent on the organization in one way or another. But that has always rung a little hollow to me.
Given how much more other teams are spending on their payrolls, the Ricketts are either not counting all of their broader organizational revenue as “team” reve...
Every Monday is an off-day in the Arizona Fall League, so it’s an excellent time to check in on how the Cubs Boys of Autumn are doing out in the desert with the Mesa Solar Sox. The Solar Sox had their best week of the season so far, going 5-1 and currently sport a four-game […]
The Arizona Fall League is already in its fourth week, and the White Sox have nine prospects in action, headlined by OF Braden Montgomery (White Sox No. 1/MLB No. 35) and LHP Hagen Smith (No. 5/No. 88). Rounding out the crew: IF Sam Antonacci (No. 11), RHP Tyler Davis, IF Ryan Galanie, RHP Carson Jacobs, […]
The big league Chicago Cubs won an MLB-leading three Gold Gloves last night, with each of Nico Hoerner, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Ian Happ taking home the deserved honors .
But they are not this year’s only Gold Glove winners in the Cubs organization!
On the minor league side, Rawlings hands out one Gold Glove at each position for all of the minor leagues , and what do you know, a Cubs prospect nabbed the honor at third base. Congrats to Pedro Ramirez:

I’m going to preface this by saying that you know it as well as I do: The Cubs aren’t going to retain Kyle Tucker. That seems completely obvious to anyone who’s followed Tucker’s saga from being traded to the Cubs last winter, to becoming a free agent the day after the World Series ended. Why […]
The Bears head into the 2025 NFL trade deadline on a high note, having defeated the Bengals 47-42 on Sunday in one of the craziest matchups in the team’s recent history. Now that they sit at 5-3 coming out of Week 9, they’re well positioned for what should be a competitive playoff race for the […]
The Miami Dolphins are open for business ahead of the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline.
Tuesday’s 3 p.m. CT deadline for the NFL Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching, and the Dolphins are declaring they are open cut deals with teams. We’ll get to where the Chicago Bears fit into this momentarily, but first let’s share details of the deal new Dolphins Interim General Manager Champ Kelly (if that name sounds familiar to you, then I know that you are probably a long-time reader here) made with the P...
That was a fantastic and fun roller-coaster-of-emotions type of game, with so many lead changes and improbable moments. On Sunday afternoon, the Chicago Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 47-42. That was Chicago’s most points scored since 2018, when they put up 48. This was also the first time the Bears had ever won a game […]
The Sixers are 5-1, have the second-best offense and sixth-best net rating in the NBA after six games — just as we all predicted. After taking care of business Sunday night in Brooklyn over the lowly Nets, the Sixers will stay on the road for a difficult back-to-back against the equally surprising Chicago Bulls (5-1) […]
Please tell me you watched the Bears game yesterday. That was UNREAL . One of the wildest games in years, with the Bears blowing a huge lead late – in large part because of a brutally bogus call on a should-have-been-game-ending-pick-6 – and then somehow summoning the moxy to turn it right back around into a last-minute win.
The MLB offseason has officially arrived, and this is the slate of dates and deadlines if you missed it or want to brush up. The first wave of deadlines comes on Th...
That’s better. All of Knicks nation woke up Monday morning with a pep in their step after the team responded to their 0-3 road trip with a near-wire-to-wire victory over the undefeated Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, leading by as much as 25 in a comfortable, feel-good victory. Now, 24 hours later, they finish up […]
The Chicago Bears fought for all 60 minutes, and in the end, they came out victorious against the Cincinnati Bengals, overcoming a huge Bengals’ fourth-quarter comeback. After this 47-42 win, the Bears’ advance to 5-3 on the season. This high-scoring game was equally exciting and messy, leaving fans on the tip of their toes. We […]
