This morning, Shota Imanaga became a free agent when both the team (3-years, $57M and a no-trade clause) and the player (1-year, $15M) rejected their contractual options. And although there’s still a chance Imanaga could return to the Cubs in 2025 by way of the $22M qualifying offer or a new free agent deal altogether, it sounds like both sides are getting ready to move on. Or, at least, the posturing has begun.
Shota Imanaga, the Cubs, and Free Agency
For the Cubs, that looks and so...
After the NFL trade deadline came and went without the Green Bay Packers making a trade, the team announced eight — that’s right, eight — roster moves on Tuesday. Let’s take you through these moves one by one to explain what happened, since there was so much change. TE Tucker Kraft to the injured reserve […]
Atlético de Madrid on Tuesday survived a stern test from Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise. Despite boasting two-thirds of the possession, Atlético struggled to create quality chances for the much of the night against a disciplined five-man defense. Julián Alvarez put Atleti ahead five minutes before halftime before Conor Gallagher extended the lead. A defensive lapse […]
The Chicago Bulls are sure hoping that Ayo Dosunmu gets the green light tonight.
After exceeding expectations with a strong 5-0 start, the Bulls suffered their first loss of the season at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Falling on the road to a Knicks team that is fresh off an Eastern Conference Finals appearance isn’t reason enough for this young and frisky group to hang their heads. Believe it or not, they weren’t going to go 82-0.
With that said, a loss is a loss. The Bulls now h...
The Portland Trail Blazers suffered a dispiriting loss to the Los Angeles Lakers last night. It’s the first morale-buster the franchise has endured since the unexpected Week 1 loss of their head coach Chauncey Billups. The Tiago Splitter era hasn’t been full of wins, but hard effort and upward trajectories have blossomed, along with a […]
The San Francisco 49ers were quiet on deadline day, not making any moves as they elected to keep their draft picks and move ahead with their current roster. The 49ers did make a move for defensive lineman Keion White, swapping a sixth-round pick for a seventh-round pick with the New England Patriots last week. But, […]
Talk about a bounce back… after the top-ranked Wisconsin Badgers suffered their worst loss in two years at the hands of the now-No. 2 Minnesota Gophers on Friday night, the Badgers came out Saturday to throttle the Gophers, winning 7-2 to split the series and end the first installment of the Border Battle on a […]
The Minnesota Wild's Saturday night win over the Vancouver Canucks was necessary to turn down the heat. Losing eight of nine games, including the first four of a six-game homestand, was threatening to boil over. But the win just lifted the pot from the flame for two days. A loss tonight against the...
The Flyers didn’t fare so well over their weekend back-to-back against the Leafs and the Flames, picking up a pair of pretty uninspiring losses (and looking, truly, perhaps the worst they have all season on Sunday). They’re in a bit of a spiral here, looking for answers as their process has broken down a bit, and they’re looking to stop the bleeding and get things back on track in short order, taking advantage of the opportunity for a reset that a trip up to Montreal can offer them.

Floyd Schofield Jr recently spent some time talking with Fight Hub TV about a number of topics, and during this particular segment his father and trainer made some bold proclamations about their intentions to be undisputed in two weight classes simultaneously while also also saying he expects Shakur Stevenson’s career to end sooner than you […]
The 2025 Apertura tournament is in the books, and we have the eight teams that have qualified for Liguilla. Tigres finishes first It was a tight battle between Tigres and Pachuca until the end of the season to see who would finish on top. The Amazonians had to play Cruz Azul and both teams went […]
The Sounders showed they are capable of breaking down what seemed like an almost impenetrable Loons defense.
The Miami Dolphins were not as active as many felt they would be at the trade deadline. It's an indication they feel good about their future.
The Cleveland Browns were far more inactive as the 2025 NFL trade deadline passed than many expected. There have been rumblings that the team tried to get the New York Jets to talk about a trade of WR Garrett Wilson, but this week’s opponent was focused on trading away defenders instead. The Browns made one […]

Before the 2024-25 Ohio State women’s basketball season, head coach Kevin McGuff said that recruiting class for the 25-26 campaign was going to be small. Until a late commitment flip and freshman transfer situation, the 2025 class was guard Dasha Biriuk. Now, the 6-foot-2 guard from Ukraine, by the way of Tennessee, joins the Buckeyes. […]

Now, New England gets set to go back on the road for a second consecutive game against the NFC South, this time matching up against the 6-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers bounced back in a massive way with a 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts came into the contest with the best record in football with a 7-1 overall mark. The Indianapolis offense was scoring 33.8 points per game going into Sunday, and looked likely to feast on a depleted Steelers […]
A little over a year ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks made a seismic trade that sent the Timberwolves’ longtime franchise player, Karl-Anthony Towns, away in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick that eventually became Joan Beringer. As it stands now, the trade appears to have paid off for […]
Liverpool 1 – 0 Real Madrid Reds: Mac Allister 61’Fascists: N/A’ Pre-Match A certain former Liverpool player is not starting, and that’s all I have to say about that. First Half It is a fast start from Liverpool, who really take it to the visitors in the opening few minutes, and it might’ve amounted for more […]
The Royals have placed pitcher Kyle Wright on outright waivers, according to New York Post reporter Jon Heyman. If no team claims him, he can be outrighted to the minors, although if he has five years of service time he can refuse assignment. Wright has not pitched in a big league game in the last […]
Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid. Defeat at Anfield… Here is my reaction to the clash. Don’t miss: Player ratings, interviews and a post game podcast. Games don’t come much bigger than this. An away trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in the Champions League. Trent Alexander-Arnold would not receive his dream start, with Fede Valverde continuing to […]
