What Are the Cubs Going to Do this Winter? Who’s Available in Free Agency?

Although I do believe that the Cubs should have plenty of reasons (and more than enough payroll space) to be aggressive in free agency this offseason, their intentions on that front aren’t particularly clear. That’s due in part to Jed Hoyer’s history of free agent passivity, as well as the new CBA negotiations and expected lockout. But there’s also the fact that the 2026 roster is already pretty full-up with potential starters: C – Carson Kelly/Miguel Amaya 1B – Michael Busch 2B – Ni...

A New Uniform, Starting the Season Without Coby White, Matas Buzelis Takeover? And Other Bulls Bullets

Chicago Bulls basketball is two days away. Brace yourself. To celebrate opening week, the Bulls officially unveiled their 2025-26 City Edition uniforms ! Fans will have to wait until December to get an on-court look at the newest threads, but the initial photos have already won me over. I’ve been critical of some jersey designs in the past, and I’m still not sure the NBA should be forcing teams to roll out something new every year. With that being the case, I love that they kept this ye...

Tyler Bertuzzi Making an Early Impact for the Blackhawks

Tyler Bertuzzi’s first season with the Chicago Blackhawks was solid overall. Bertuzzi finished the season with 23 goals in 82 games, the second-highest goal total of his career and the first time he appeared in all 82 games. But that didn’t come without discussion about his consistency. As Scott Powers wrote for The Athletic back on March 23, Bertuzzi’s saw stretches last season where he “had zero goals and seven assists in 20 games. Before that, he had 12 goals and five assists in 20 gam...

Milwaukee Brewers Will Reportedly Field Trade Offers for Freddy Peralta

Freddy Peralta has been an outstanding pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers for the past eight seasons, giving the Chicago Cubs fits along the way. He has become something of an anchor for the Brewers rotation, pitching like an ace in 2025, and is just 29 years old. So it’s high time for the Brewers to trade him. From The Athletic : “In this case, as the winter unfolds, the Brewers are expected to at least field offers for starting pitcher Freddy Peralta, according to people fami...

Bad Chicago Bulls Injury News: Coby White Will Now Sit Out Multiple Weeks

The Chicago Bulls will begin the 2025-26 season without their leading scorer. The team officially announced on Monday morning that Coby White will remain sidelined with a calf strain. While he has resumed on-court activity, the team will look to re-evaluate him in two weeks. With the Bulls hosting their season-opener at the United Center on Tuesday, this puts White in line to miss at least their first six regular-season contests. It sounds as if the earliest he could return would be ...

Victory Monday, Dominant Bedard, Great Knight, Vlasic’s A, Lardis’ Big Night, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

The Blackhawks picked up an impressive win last night, closing a tough segment of their season. They opened the new year with seven games in 12 days, skating every other day for almost two full weeks. And many of those games were against teams projected to be in the mix for a playoff spot this year. For a team that supposedly has the worst roster in hockey that we’ve been told will be cleaning up confetti after another draft lottery party, coming out of that stretch of games with a 3-2-2 recor...

Expectations for Bullpen Moves, ALCS Gets a Game Seven, and Other Cubs Bullets

Maybe it wasn’t a work of art, but the Chicago Bears found a way to win (by multiple scores) a total trap game in nasty conditions. That’s four straight wins for the first time in seven years. A random combination thought about the Cubs’ bullpen group that I want to keep in mind for the offseason. For the last several years running, two things have been true every single year. First, the Cubs find reclamation relievers who wind up being big contributors. Second, younger/newer guys who w...
