Episode 37 of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast is officially live!
In this week’s episode, Brett and I talk about the Shota Imanaga decision this week, and what he might be looking at in a market that forced Jack Flaherty and Shane Bieber to accept surprisingly soft terms before even testing the market. Likewise, we get into the extreme bullpen turnover ahead of us, and what that migth mean for the Cubs pursuits this winter.
After the break, in our transaction corner, we focus our at...

Thursday was the deadline for teams to make qualifying offers to their players who are free agents and the Cubs did so for two such players. Kyle Tucker was an obvious choice to make the offer of $22.025 million. Just as obvious is the fact that he’ll turn it down and head toward another team […]
Multiple sources—including MLB.com’s Thomas Harding, ESPN’s Jeff Passan, and the New York Post’s Joel Sherman—reported Thursday afternoon that the Colorado Rockies finally have a hire for their open head of baseball operations position. The position has been vacant since the resignation of Bill Schmidt following the end of the 2025 season. The Rockies are known […]
Today’s the deadline for decisions to be made on player/club options and we’ve already seen the Braves make a couple of very interesting decisions on Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley, respectively. There is one choice that appears to be a no-brainer and that’s the decision to decline an $8 million team option for INF/P David […]

I have been perfect on my 12 straight-up picks the last two weeks. My ATS last week were not as strong (2-4). I picked Maryland and Rutgers to cover big spreads against Indiana and Illinois, respectively, but the superior teams had no trouble pulling away in either game. With the Huskies back in action, it […]
As the New England Patriots returned to the practice fields, so did an ironman on the offensive line. Veteran center Garrett Bradbury was back as a limited participant along with rookie defensive tackle Joshua Farmer on Thursday. Both had been non-participants to begin the week due to respective hip and ankle injuries. But running back […]
It might be time to take your hand off the “panic” button and click “rebuild” instead. Coming into Wednesday, the 2-5 Mavericks desperately needed a game against the New Orleans Pelicans to get back on track. New Orleans was just 1-6 coming into the night with their sole victory being against the Charlotte Hornets the […]
After yesterday’s minor deal with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire a potential bullpen arm in Cole Wilcox, POBO Jerry Dipoto and GM Justin Hollander remain active in their efforts to add to The Pile this offseason and claimed RHP Ryan Loutos from the Washington Nationals. The move puts the 4o man roster at 38. […]
Sunday brings another edition of what has truly been “the game” in English football during the late 2010s and early 2020s, as Manchester City hosts Liverpool FC. This time it’s 2nd place hosting 3rd place, which is a bit of a departure, given how this match usually involves the top of the table team. Quite […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football in hopes of getting to 6-3 on the season and extending their lead in the AFC North. The Steelers have made a notable release ahead of Week 10, though, letting go of a former third-round pick. The Steelers announced […]
Stating the Maple Leafs badly needed a response effort after what was ultimately a comeback win over Pittsburgh is maybe overstating matters slightly, but they should’ve been heavily emphasizing a better start entering this game. Despite the 1-0 Utah scoreline after one period, the Leafs mostly played a strong opening frame. Missed opportunities for Toronto, […]

Five minutes into the third quarter Thursday, No. 2-seed Maryland field hockey broke away on a turnover and headed back to its attack zone. Midfielder Maddie Vasilios took possession just outside of the goal, but without a look towards the cage, she passed to the center. Midfielder Maia Adamson received Vasilios’ pass in front of […]
Paul Toboni made a bunch of moves to the 40-man roster this afternoon. None of them were huge moves individually, but together the moves created a lot of space on the 40-man roster. With the offseason here, Paul Toboni will look to optimize that 40-man roster as much as possible. Earlier this afternoon, it was […]

The Colorado Rockies are set to hire Paul DePodesta as their president of baseball operations, per the Athletic. This would not be that surprising if this were being done a decade ago.
