The White Sox made it official ahead of Opening Day: the 26-man roster is set, the last cuts are in, and the 40-man has already taken a couple of hits before a single meaningful pitch is thrown. If you were looking for surprises, you won’t find many, but the IL is already rolling. Brooks Baldwin […]

It turns out having your max contract players available is more helpful than not. The Sixers took care of business as they welcomed guys back, blowing out the Chicago Bulls 157-137 Wednesday night. It’s the most points they’ve scored in a game since 1986. They are 40-33 and can pull into a tie for the […]

Don’t look now, but the Sixers actually might have over half of their starting lineup available. Philadelphia released their injury report ahead of their matchup with the Chicago Bulls, and there’s some potentially good news: Joel Embiid is listed as questionable. Embiid has yet to play in the month of March, suffering an oblique strain […]
Garrett Crochet came to the Boston Red Sox from the Chicago White Sox in a move that surely made the southsiders groan and throw everything within reach as far as possible. All Crochet did once settling in Beantown was post a 6.3 bWAR season that featured and AL-best 205.1 IP and MLB-best 255 Ks, efforts […]

While the team hasn’t made an official announcement, Philadelphia Flyers winger Nikita Grebenkin is out with an injury and will likely not be in the lineup Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
“Yeah he’s been dealing with things the last couple of games,” head coach Rick Tocchet said after Wednesday’s practice . “He went to see a doctor today to get some more tests done on him.”
When asked the nature of the injury, Tocchet revealed it was upper body and that it was more than like...
A year ago, many were skeptical that the Chicago Cubs could be a postseason contender, even after the acquisition of Kyle Tucker, a genuine star. A year later, the Cubs did make the postseason and extended the Brewers to five games in a tightly-fought division series. The 92-win season was absolutely a good one, with […]
Here are the 26 men who will line up on the third-base line at Wrigley Field Thursday afternoon before the Cubs’ season opener against the Nationals.

Welcome back to regular season baseball! The Milwaukee Brewers are set to kick off their 2026 season with a visit from the White Sox in Milwaukee beginning Thursday afternoon. Coming off another busy offseason, the Brewers’ biggest change comes in the rotation, with Freddy Peralta with the Mets. Other key subtractions include Caleb Durbin in […]
We’re a few weeks into the 2026 NFL free agency period, and most of the top free agents are off the market. There remain several starting-caliber talents available, but as far as long-term solutions go, you’re unlikely to find any this late in the process. With that said, the next big event in the Bears’ […]
Well, the White Sox almost had a winning record in the Cactus League, what with a 15-16-1 finish. Too bad it doesn’t matter. But they ended up losing their last five games, six if you include the Spring Breakout game. Good thing it doesn’t matter. Of course, their big hullabaloo this season is about “momentum,” […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who predictably had their way with the injury-riddled Sixers in their last matchup. Now they’ll have a prime opportunity to bounce back against a team tumbling toward the bottom of the standings — the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have had an #OnBrand […]
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by Pride of Detroit’s Editor in Chief, Jeremy Reisman, to discuss the newest Chicago Bears wide receiver, Kalif Raymond. Reisman, who is also on the Detroit Lions beat, did a phenomenal job last year with Taylor’s Ben Johnson episode, so you know he brought the […]
At some point you run out of ways to say a kid is doing something no one has ever done before. Tuesday night in New York, Matthew Schaefer played an absurd 31 minutes and 59 seconds against the Chicago Blackhawks , which is the most ice time ever logged by a teenager in NHL history. The New York Islanders lost 4-3, fell out of a playoff spot, and are now tied with the Ottawa Senators for the second wild card in the East. None of that changes what Schaefer did. The 18-ye...
Kalif Raymond leaving for a division rival in the Chicago Bears was one of the more surprising moments of this offseason for the Detroit Lions. After being such a steady and reliable player for years in Detroit, both as a receiver and a punt returner, replacing Raymond added another item to the Lions’ to-do list. […]

1951 White Sox legend Eddie Collins died at age 63, in Boston. Unquestionably the best second baseman in White Sox history (67.0 WAR), Collins also managed the team for two full seasons in the aftermath of the Black Sox scandal. Despite a gutted roster, Collins consistently maintained a record better than .500. He won a […]
