UNLV basketball head coach Marvin Menzies isn’t shy when talking about rebuilding the men’s basketball program in Las Vegas. The groundwork has been laid with a couple recruiting classes, and last year’s 20-win season included promise that, while not exactly filling up the Thomas & Mack Center, presented fans with enough reason to keep a side-eye on what once was the center of sports pride in Vegas — Runnin' Rebels basketball.

The first storyline after the Cubs were ousted out of the playoffs by the Rockies in the Wild Card Game was what changes were going to be made to the coaching staff.

The Cubs have already made a few moves to begin the offseason, adding a relief pitcher and an outfielder off waivers to the 40-man roster. They’ve also officially picked up a few options on players. First, it was Jose Quintana’s $10.5 million option and now another obvious decision. On Thursday, the Cubs officially picked up […]
