The Chicago Cubs are bringing back reliever Yency Almonte on a minor league deal after his missed most of the 2024 season with a shoulder injury and subsequent surgery. The Cubs are bringing back pitcher Yency Almonte on a minor league deal. He appeared in 17 games for them last year. Has a career 4.44 ERA.— Jesse Rogers (@JesseRogersESPN) March 4, 2025 It’s not quite clear where Almonte is in…
The Chicago Cubs won this one going away, pouring it on 16-1 over the Padres. This team is simply too good for the Cactus League. The Cubs did all that scoring without the benefit of a home run, by the way, and went a hilarious 12 for 23 with runners in scoring position. Matt Shaw notched his first two hits of the spring in the process: Matt Shaw's first RBI…
One bad throw. That’s all it takes for Pete Crow-Armstrong to turn a normal single into a little league home run. He is chaos on the bases, just like the guy the Cubs traded for him: Pure.Chaos.Always. pic.twitter.com/FLWiiXP1Ej— Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) March 4, 2025
Cubs vs Padres — It’s a good thing today’s Cubs game is being televised by Marquee, because I believe this is likely to be your Opening Day Cubs lineup in Tokyo against the Dodgers, right down to the starting pitcher. Chicago Cubs Lineup: Ian Happ, LF Kyle Tucker, DH Seiya Suzuki, RF Michael Busch, 1B Matt Shaw, 3B Dansby Swanson, SS Pete Crow-Armstrong, C Miguel Amaya, C Jon Berti, 2B…
Today, MLB Pipeline unveiled the Chicago Cubs’ new top-30 prospect list for the 2025 season, and I plan to dig in today on the updated rankings and scouting reports. You pick up so many things that you might not have known – for example, remember how Fernando Cruz had a disappointing Dominican Summer League debut after being the Cubs’ largest IFA bonus ever? Well, that seems to be in large…
Any time a guy is scratched from the lineup is a bit of a hold-your-breath moment, but when the team uses the word “precautionary” and the game at-issue is a Spring Training game, you can USUALLY rest largely assured of a quick return. Thankfully, that’s expected to be the case for Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who was scratched from yesterday’s lineup with hamstring tightness. He should be back in…
Rule 5 pick Gage Workman has done everything he can this spring to win a job on the big league team, even as we know that the reality of Rule 5 picks is that there is only so much they can do to prove themselves. The decision is usually more organizationally-driven, and won’t always be adjustable based on how a guy looks in Spring Training. Still, Workman, who is a…
Happy Paczki Day to all who celebrate! I don’t have easy access to them myself, so I will celebrate by instead getting donuts from that new place by me that I mentioned. Layered donuts – effectively cro-nuts – are the order of the day. I will assuredly have too many. But it’s a holiday. In a piece on Ryan Pressly, Patrick Mooney confirms something that’d been floating out there, but…
So, do the Cubs only lose now? That’s two in a row after starting the spring undefeated for a couple weeks. Today’s was a 10-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. Heartbreaking stuff. (It actually feels nice when the Cubs lose in the spring and I can be all sarcastic and what-not, because that doesn’t so much happen in the regular season … ) The biggest Spring Training news at the top…
MLB NEWS — I don’t think this is too hot of a take, so I’ll just say it: Spring Training is pretty boring. Yes, I’m happy to post “Baseball is back!” after the Super Bowl ends (…and again when Pitchers and Catchers report … and again for the first Cactus League game … and again for the first game that’s actually televised), but at a certain point, it all feels…
In March 2024, the Chicago Bears announced their plans to build a new stadium along the downtown lakefront at Museum Campus. One month later, the team shared some nifty-looking renderings of its stadium project. But fast forward nearly a year later and it seems like Chicago’s football team is closer to taking its talents to suburban Arlington Heights than it is to getting a deal done to stay in the…
Ashton Jeanty is headed to the Windy City. When? We’re not quite sure yet. But ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Boise State running back has a Top 30 visit scheduled with the Chicago Bears and a handful of other teams. Jeanty, a projected first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, figures to be the first running back taken off the board in April. Perhaps one of the teams he…
On the heels of one of the greatest seasons by a running back in league history, the Philadelphia Eagles are rewarding Saquon Barkley with a contract extension. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Barkley’s extension is for two years and $41.2 million, making him the league’s first $20 million-plus per-year running back. First, the Eagles deserve credit for recognizing Barkley’s contributions to their Super Bowl victory this season with a nice…
The Chicago Bears roster overhaul continues with news from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the team is not tendering a contract to linebacker Jack Sanborn. Once that move is officially official, Sanborn will hit free agency: The #Bears are not tendering RFA linebacker Jack Sanborn, per source. Their starting Sam linebacker the past two seasons also has seven starts as an MLB, when he had 71 tackles (six for loss) and…
The New York Jets continued to rid themselves of the disappointing Aaron Rodgers era by releasing his favorite wide receiver, Davante Adams, on Tuesday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was among multiple national reporters to report the release, which places an intriguing veteran option on the market less than a week from the start of free agency. For the Jets, who traded for Adams last season, releasing the receiver rid them of…
The Chicago Bears are officially active on the trade market. And while a deal cannot be made officially official until March 12, the Bears have reportedly added a piece to their offensive line puzzle with the addition of left guard Jonah Jackson of the Los Angeles Rams. ESPN’s Adam Schefter shares the scoop via Courtney Cronin: Trade: Rams are in the process of sending veteran offensive lineman Jonah Jackson to…
On Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa agreed on an extension, taking one of the top interior defenders off the board. Less than a week away from the start of the NFL’s free-agency period, extensions and franchise tags are starting to roll in, taking some of the top names off the board and causing teams to shift their focus. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Odighizuwa and…
The NFL Scouting Combine is in our rear-view mirror. This means that we can go from obsessing over the workouts of college prospects to digging deep into free agency, which begins for the Chicago Bears (and the NFL’s other 31 teams) one week from today when the negotiation window between teams and player agents gets underway. What a time to be an NFL fan. Eventually, we’ll circle back to being…
It’s Day 58 of the Chicago Bears offseason. Happy Paczki Day to those who observe! When I was young, I watched my mom and aunt team up to pick up paczkis to deliver to their co-workers. It was a cool, sisterly thing that the two loved. Later in life, I became my mom’s sidekick on the paczki adventures. And when she was too old to drive, I was, essentially, her…
The Chicago Bears have an abundance of cap space with General Manager Ryan Poles calling the shots as he tries to fulfill the vision of Ben Johnson, the team’s new head coach. Filling Chicago’s offseason needs in free agency will go a long way toward getting this team back into the postseason hunt. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the more promising and available targets…
When the Cleveland Cavaliers heard Tim Sinclair announce the Chicago Bulls starting lineup, they probably let out a chuckle. Josh Giddey, Kevin Huerter, and Lonzo Ball were ruled out shortly before tip-off, joining Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu, and Patrick Williams in the street clothes. This meant the Bulls were running with a first-of-its-kind starting lineup – one that featured Coby White, Tre Jones, Dalen Terry, Matas Buzelis, and Zach Collins….
The NBA’s best team comes to the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls.

Now is not the time to grade the Zach LaVine trade. While many tried when the news initially broke in early February, the truth is that the real value of the Chicago Bulls’ decision will be determined by what they do over the next couple of seasons. First things first, Arturas Karnisovas prioritized re-gaining his 2025 first-round pick, which thus eliminated any possible restrictions on the team’s future first-rounders. For…
The Chicago Bulls injury report stays busy. Head coach Billy Donovan will remain without several rotation players ahead of his matchup at the United Center with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nikola Vucevic will miss his fifth-straight game, while Patrick Williams will sit out his sixth consecutive contest. Of course, Ayo Dosunmu is also out with a season-ending shoulder injury. The Bulls announced that the guard will undergo surgery this weekend after…
Two nights after a double-digit loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Chicago Bulls will welcome the NBA’s top team into the United Center. Good luck! https://twitter.com/chicagobulls/status/1896908488149790881 To the Bulls’ credit, they have made a handful of good teams sweat over the last couple of weeks. But I’d be lying if I said I foresee a similar outcome tonight. The Cleveland Cavaliers are an absolute juggernaut this season. They hold a…
At this point, you just have to feel bad for Mavericks fans, right? As if this season couldn’t get much more heartbreaking for fans after the stunning Luka Doncic trade, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Kyrie Irving tore his ACL in the first quarter of last night’s loss to the Sacramento Kings. When it rains, it pours. https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1896951861569351727 Kyrie Irving Injury A Brutal Blow For The Mavericks Things keep getting worse…
The Chicago Sky are taking their talents to the Madhouse on Madison. According to the franchise, they have officially moved two 2025 home games against the Indiana Fever from Wintrust Arena to the United Center. The decision comes after a 2024 campaign where a handful of organizations moved their meetings with Caitlin Clark to bigger venues to meet fan demands. The former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar has become one of the…
As another new week approaches with the Bulls season winding down, I find myself fairly intrigued by their upcoming opponents. This week’s matchups — Cleveland, Orlando, and Miami — all present significant tests for the Bulls’ two young bigs, Jalen Smith and Zach Collins. To be sure, Collins is 27 and Smith is 25, so it’s not like we’re talking about rookies here. But playing bigger minutes in a starting…
Zach LaVine is starting to look very comfortable with the Sacramento Kings. The NBA announced on Monday that the former Chicago Bulls All-Star has been named the Western Conference Player of the Week. Jalen Brunson took home the award for the Eastern Conference. The honor comes after an explosive three-game stretch where LaVine averaged 28.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. He also shot 62.3 percent from the…
Arturas Karnisovas had another chance to explain his plan for the Chicago Bulls last week. Sitting down with long-time color commentator Stacey King on the Gimme the Hot Sauce Podcast, Karnisovas was asked to talk about his current team-building approach. King specifically brought up the organization’s recent trend of adding under-25 players – like Josh Giddey and Jalen Smith – who still hold multiple years of NBA experience. Karnisovas underscored…
A couple moves in the NHL that happened at almost the same time will have an impact on the trade market for Blackhawks forward Ryan Donato. The first move was a three-team trade that involved the Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils. Here’s the breakdown: Trade 1: Boston Bruins trade Trent Frederic (50 percent salary retained) to New Jersey Devils in exchange for unsigned draft choice Petr Hauser. Trade…
On July 23, 2021, the Chicago Blackhawks made a blockbuster trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Chicago sent a package of picks with defenseman Adam Boqvist to the Columbus Blue Jackets for two picks and defenseman Seth Jones, who agreed to an eight-year contract that carries a $9.5M AAV. At the time, the Blackhawks were trying to quickly turn their ship around, leaving their brief “rebuild” project in the dust…
After the morning skate yesterday I wrote about new Blackhawks goaltender Spencer Knight wanting to play last night, just a couple days after being traded from the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers to the… second-to-last in the NHL Chicago Blackhawks. And how he found a couple friends and former teammates waiting for him in Chicago in Alex Vlasic and Landon Slaggert. He arrived at the game with Slaggert, put…
The Blackhawks got way out in front of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline by moving Seth Jones over this past weekend. With their big move taken care of, the Blackhawks front office can turn their attention to some of the other interesting pieces on the roster, some of whom are still generating plenty of buzz around the league. I wandered around the interwebs on your behalf and did my best…
This game should have been at least 5-1 after 20 minutes but the Blackhawks’ new goaltender stood on his head. To say the ice was slanted in the first period is like thinking the sides of the Devils Tower are slight downhills. According to Natural Stat Trick, high danger chances were 7-1 in favor of the Kings in the first and that feels fairly conservative after watching it live. But…
Y’all want a lineup you can get excited about? The Blackhawks are not only gonna run out a top line of kids, but they’re putting a young blue line together and the new guy is starting in net. What a time to be alive! But… it’s still the week of the trade deadline and we’re still on hug watch. So beware the late scratches from the Blackhawks this week. We’ve…
How about a Monday for the Blackhawks? Spencer Knight arrives, takes the morning skate and gets right into the game action. He told us he wanted to play as soon as he got here because he just wants to play. He had been in a backup role in Florida behind Sergei Bobrovsky — and his massive contract — and now finally gets a chance to be a team’s bona fide…
On Monday morning, the Washington Capitals announced an extension with goaltender Charlie Lindgren. It’s a three-year deal with a $3M AAV, which is a nice deal for both parties. Washington previously extended their other netminder, Logan Thompson, in January. He got a six-year deal with a cap hit of $5.85M. The Capitals, who have the best record in the Eastern Conference, were looking at the potential of both of their…
Since the Chicago Blackhawks made the trade sending Seth Jones to Florida, there has been some talk that they might jump into the restricted free agent market this summer and sign someone to an offer sheet. Offer sheets have been fairly rare in the NHL. The San Jose Sharks signed Niklas Hjalmarsson to an offer sheet after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010. This past summer, however, the…
Scott Powers over at The Athletic talked to Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson about the Seth Jones trade. It’s a great piece; that’s why I’m leading off with it this morning. There are so many layers to continue to unpack from this trade — with the trade deadline coming like a freight train on Friday afternoon — and the Blackhawks have games on Monday and Wednesday before it hits (and…
