Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
There was plenty of buzz around the Chicago Bears after last season’s NFC North title and playoff win, and that buzz hasn’t cooled down a bit this offseason. With the NFL Combine and draft, the trade rumors, free agency, the stadium saga, and the retirement of Drew Dalman, it seems like a new Bears nugget […]
Daily Faceoff’s Jeff Marek believes the Edmonton Oilers could be the team to watch at the trade deadline and openly wondered about Darnell Nurse’s status. The NHL’s trade deadline is Friday, and there’s been action across the league already. The Oilers have made one move, acquiring Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday for…
If the Chicago Bears’ defense was one thing in 2026, it was opportunistic. Led by coordinator Dennis Allen, Chicago forced the most turnovers of any team in the NFL with 33, largely driven by a league-leading 23 interceptions. Safety Kevin Byard posted seven of those to lead the NFL on an individual level, while breakout […]
Today we look at one of the Cubs’ camp arms, who might, MIGHT have a shot at the MLB bullpen. It’s up to him. Jack Preston Neely came to the Cubs, along with on again/off-again Cub Ben Cowles, for Mark Leiter Jr. He’s got a live arm but tends to walk himself into trouble. Stop […]
The White Sox lost 100+ games for the third year in a row, but last year actually marked a 19-win improvement for them. They finally seem to be digging out of the hole they created for themselves through some shrewd trades and smart pickups. They continued to turn the roster over by trading All-Star outfielder […]
Welp, back to the drawing board… Drew Dalman sent shockwaves across the NFL landscape with his sudden retirement on Tuesday. Only 27 years old and coming off a Pro Bowl season, his decision to walk away particularly has a major impact on the Chicago Bears’ offseason strategy. Not all hope is lost for Chicago, even […]
The Cleveland Guardians never look great when the season starts and somehow, they manage to win. The Detroit Tigers have loaded up on pitching to try to squeeze a postseason year out of Tarik Skubal’s walk year. The White Sox are better. The Royals stood (mostly) pat. And the Twins, yikes. Chicago White Sox Key […]
Fans of the San Diego Padres got their first glimpse of what Nick Castellanos could be if he breaks camp as a part of the big-league roster. Castellanos went 2-for-3 in San Diego’s 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday and that included a double and a two-run home run off the bat […]
Chicago’s second pick in the 2023 draft is a bit of a Rorschach test for Bears fans. Is Gervon Dexter a good player or a barely adequate one? The eye test tells a conflicting story. He seldom commands double teams. He produces but not reliably. In 2025 he was 50th of all players in sacks, […]

1921 In the wake of the Black Sox, fortunes were going to turn hard against the fortunes of the South Siders — but don’t blame future Hall-of-Famer Harry Hooper. Charles Comiskey attempted to rebuild his team, making the acquisition of Hooper from the Red Sox as a cornerstone move. The trade didn’t prevent the three-decade fall to come, […]

MESA, Arizona — The Cubs wore their white pinstripe home jerseys for the exhibition game against Team Italy, and that was more than just a pleasant view. Before the game started I saw a few Cubs minor leaguers enter Sloan Park wearing the blue alternates and wondered why. “Why” was because several of them played […]
