In case you missed the early morning news, the Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off the rare “trade away your player and re-sign him in the offseason” move with Merrill Kelly.
Let’s start there today.
When the Diamondbacks traded Kelly to the Rangers this July, they landed Kohl Drake (#6 prospect in the D-Backs system), Mitch Bratt (#9), and David Hagaman (#15), a tidy sum for a 36-year-old rental starter. And now they get him back, albeit at a very substantial $20M per year for tw...
For however dead the 2026 MLB Winter Meetings felt, the days thereafter have seen some consistent activity. This morning, that begins ( per Ken Rosenthal ) with free agent starter Merrill Kelly re-upping with the Arizona Diamondbacks, with whom he spent 7.5 of his 8 big-league seasons.
Merrill Kelly Back to the Diamondbacks
Merrill Kelly was a rumored Cubs trade target at the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline, but he was eventually dealt to the Rangers, for whom he was serviceable, but not muc...
The Chicago Bears’ backup quarterback situation is up in the air with Tyson Bagent joining the injury report on Sunday morning.
Kevin Fishbain has details on the update, which has Bagent listed as questionable to play on Sunday:
The Bears added Tyson Bagent (illness) to the injury report this morning. He is questionable. Case Keenum would be the backup if Bagent can’t go. — Kevin Fishbain ( @kfishbain.bsky.social ) December 14, 2025 at 7:34 AM

Let’s start with where the game began last night. I made Wayne Messmer my No. 1 star in my postgame thoughts last night because the Blackhawks weren’t great ( got shutout ). But that was truly a great moment. The Blackhawks are really doing a great job with their Centennial celebration, but not everything you would love to see celebrated can be possible. One of the things I didn’t think was possible was Messmer coming back to a Blackhawks game to sing the anthem. Last night, he did — right nex...
The Cleveland Browns head to the Windy City today to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Though the Browns’ offense has looked better over the past two weeks or so, Cleveland will be without a large portion of their starting offensive line today. RT Jack Conklin and RG Wyatt Teller are both officially […]
Sources tell us that Burl Carraway is no longer in the organization. He was once a promising prospect with a big fastball from the sinister side, but his future didn’t turn out so well. So far, the offseason cache contains two MLB relievers and one player signed to a minor-league deal. *means autoplay on, (directions to […]
The Cleveland Browns will be looking for just their second win of the season against a team with a winning record when they take on the Chicago Bears this afternoon at Soldier Field. It won’t be an easy task, as Cleveland has not won in Chicago since 1969, and enters the game with four of […]

Hello, Chicago Bears fans, it’s bounce-back weekend as the Beloved face off against the vaunted pass rush of Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. The Bears are coming off a heartbreaking, stunning loss to the Green Bay Packers, punctuated by an end-zone interception in the waning seconds that ended the Bears’ comeback and handed them […]
The Blackhawks didn’t do much of anything on offense while being shut out 4-0 by the Red Wings on Saturday night at the United Center.
On a night when the giveaway was a Chris Chelios bobblehead, perhaps there was no more fitting development early on than a pair of Hawks scoring the first two goals for Detroit. Alex DeBrincat was up first, tallying just 55 seconds into the game:
Detroit goal!
Scored by Alex DeBrincat with 19:05 remaining in the 1st period.

This is a first. In all the years we’ve been running the Reacts confidence poll here at WCG, a loss to the Green Bay Packers would have tanked our fans’ confidence in the Chicago Bears. But not this time as 96% of our fanbase are still confident in the franchise’s direction. The Bears finally have […]
The Chicago Bears made a handful of roster moves on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Week 15 showdown against the Cleveland Browns. But no move stood out like the placement of Kyler Gordon on injured reserve . This is Gordon’s second stint on IR this season. The 25-year-old cornerback suffered a groin injury before the Bears’ Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers, then missed practice due to the injury throughout the week. Based on how Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson spoke about Gordon and his inj...

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears announced that they placed cornerback Kyler Gordon on injured reserve for the second time this season. He missed Chicago’s first four games this season with a hamstring injury, returned for their Week 6 game in Washington, played the following week against the Saints, but was placed on IR on October […]
With just 27 seconds left in the game and the Chicago Bears facing a 4th-and-1, cornerback Keisean Nixon ensured the Green Bay Packers would stand victorious over the Bears in the two teams’ first meeting this season by intercepting a Caleb Williams pass in the end zone intended for tight end Cole Kmet. The Bears, […]

1969 The White Sox dealt their star lefthander Gary Peters and catcher Don Pavletich to the Red Sox for Syd O’Brien and Billy Farmer. (Farmer retired instead of reporting, so as compensation Chicago received Gerry “Wheat Germ Kid” Janeski in early March 1970.) Peters would win 33 games over the next three seasons. Janeski won 10 games in 1970, then was shipped to […]
Chicago Bears’ General Manager Ryan Poles and Assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham, both former offensive linemen, came on the job promising to fix the offensive line. While many believed that would happen quickly, their efforts to turn over the offensive line took a bit longer than initially intended. I’m going to start you out with […]

Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill talked roughly seven hours before the Blackhawks host the Red Wings on Saturday. That isn’t a normal timeline for a head coach talking on the second day of a back-to-back with travel between games and no morning skate; usually the coach will talk a couple hours before the game starts.
Obviously, the circumstances were slightly different for the Blackhawks head coach on Saturday. His best player, Connor Bedard , suffered an injury inside the final second...

The last time the Chicago Bears played the Cleveland Browns, Matt Eberflus’ Bears gave up 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and lost 20 to 17. Before that, Matt Nagy’s Bears had one of the worst game plans of all time for his rookie quarterback, and they lost 26 to 6. Sigh… There’s not […]
The Blackhawks return to the United Center on Saturday night to host the Detroit Red Wings about 24 hours after a miserable night in St. Louis was made significantly worse in the game’s closing seconds.
We’ll get to Detroit in a bit because the more pressing issues deal with the home team in this game. Chicago lost 3-2 to the Blues last night but — more importantly — lost Connor Bedard to an apparent shoulder injury in the game’s closing seconds. Word on the severity of his injury won’t c...
The Cleveland Browns roster has undergone a ton of changes over the last week, with even more coming on Saturday before Week 15’s matchup with the Chicago Bears. On Tuesday, the Browns made six moves, including placing OL Ethan Pocic and RB Jerome Ford on injured reserve. On Wednesday, six more moves happened, including bringing […]
