10 Most Important Bears of 2026: #8 Grady Jarrett

Despite any expectations fans may have about Grady Jarrett, the Chicago Bears’ lack of significant movement at the position suggests they still expect him to be a difference-maker in the middle of the defense. Oh, sure, they brought in Neville Gallimore on a two-year, $10 million deal, but they needed a replacement for Andrew Billings. […]

Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (7/4/26): Cardinals 3, Cubs 0 – Home Team Blanked at Foggy Wrigley

The Cubs and Cardinals met in a bizarre Fourth of July contest that was delayed by rain and then fog.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Cubs’ only All-Star

Major League Baseball chose Saturday evening to announce this year’s All-Star teams — an odd time, in my view, the evening of a holiday — and Pete Crow-Armstrong made the NL All-Star team for the second straight season. Last year he was an elected starter; this year he’ll be a reserve outfielder. Here’s what PCA […]

Month in a Box: The White Sox in June 2026

The danger in taking a few days to gather up everything that happened in a recently completed month is that even though the box is closed, it might not be airtight, and the performance over the first fresh week that follows can color it, if not contaminate it. Case in point: The White Sox posting an over-.500 record in June is a triumph. Not only is it a second consecutive winning month for a team that had gone 17 months without one , but they kept their heads above water during the toughest...

Cardinals 3, Cubs 0: Lost in the fog

Any time it would like to stop raining in the Chicago area would be fine with me. Saturday’s 3-0 Cubs loss to the Cardinals was delayed 59 minutes before it began by yet another heavy rainfall that drenched the north side of Chicago, then delayed another 15 minutes after the end of the sixth inning […]

White Sox Minor Keys: July 4, 2026

Caleb Bonemer commemorated the Fourth of July with his best Double-A game yet. Granted, he was only 16 games into his Barons career, so it had to do more with the sample size than a sense of American history, but Bonemer notched his first three-hit game and two-homer game with the Barons. He first sliced… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 4, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

Pete Crow-Armstrong gets 2nd straight All-Star nod

The stage for Pete Crow-Armstrong was always going to be big. It’s hard not to be, when you’re the centerpiece of the 2021 trade that forced Cubs fans to say goodbye to the much-beloved Javy Baez. And when you’re an acronym before you’ve played a game in the major leagues. Or when rival fanbases relish […]

White Sox 3, Guardians 1: Montgomery answers All-Star snub with star performance

Colson Montgomery didn't get named to the American League All-Star team on Saturday night, so he settled for starring in the White Sox's effort to re-tie the American League Central in Cleveland instead. On the one-year anniversary of his major league debut, Montgomery staked the Sox to an early first inning lead by shanking a Parker Messick fastball off the outer edge for a two-out RBI double down the left field line, plating the newly minted AL All-Star Miguel Vargas after a leadoff walk. ...
