Another day, another discussion of Nico Hoerner trade rumors. I’m going to do this one a little differently than the last couple , because I want to make sure I’m getting the entire range of my thoughts on this subject out there. I have gone to great lengths for weeks to articulate why I believe the Cubs obviously have to listen on Hoerner, and also why the size of trade it would require is simply unlikely to happen. But I think I’ve still left a lot unsaid. First, though, let me share th...
It’s done. The Chicago Cubs have signed third baseman Alex Bregman. Officially official, and he’s on the 40-man roster, which now stands at 39. Bregman, 31, reportedly gets five years and $175 million, with deferrals that kick that annual rate down to about $30 million for luxury tax purposes. It is one of the largest deals in team history, however you “count” it, and means so very many things for the organization in the short-term and long-term. Bregman will wear number 3 for the Cu...

How many times are we going to have to sit through a Patrick Williams disasterclass? The Chicago Bulls just dropped a brutal one to the Houston Rockets last night — a game that was contested right down to the wire.

To write that a whole lotta fans saw the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers in last Saturday’s Wild Card playoff game would be an understatement of grand proportion.

The Chicago Cubs have added outfielder Justin Dean to the 40-man roster, claiming him off of waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he just picked up a ring. Although it has hardly been a concern that rose to the level of anything on the Major League roster, it’s been hard not to notice the extreme need in the outfield at Triple-A Iowa.
