Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr., like several of his teammates, had a 2018 season to forget. Despite a 2.60 ERA, Edwards missed all of June with an injury and was then sidelined for the Wild Card Game because of a forearm issue. In September, the slender right-hander walked 12 batters in seven innings, losing all […]

The Chicago Bears free agency plan isn’t quite set. It likely won’t be until the market is set to open come March. Until then they’ve placed their focus where it belongs, dealing with their own free agents. They’ve already re-signed Bobby Massie and word is they’re in discussions with others like Adrian Amos and Bryce […]

On Monday, February 11th the Chicago Blackhawks recalled Dylan Sikura from the Rockford IceHogs. Sikura played 11 games with the Blackhawks during his first NHL stint of the season, recording three assists. The final 26 games of the season are very important for Sikura, as he's a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Expect Blackhawks' Head Coach Jeremy Colliton to give Dylan Sikura significant ice-time down the stretch.

The honeymoon period ended pretty quick for some Cubs fans and Joe Maddon. Even after winning the 2016 World Series, Maddon was crucified for his bullpen usage and the good vibes have kind of worn off entering year five of the marriage on the North Side. Yet, Maddon is still a very good manager no […]

One thing about Matt Nagy is he has a hell of a memory. There’s no other way to explain how he’s able to absorb the absurd about of information he does as head coach of the Chicago Bears. A key part of being a good coach is never forgetting the people who helped shape the person […]

The Chicago Bears 2018 draft class was a catalyst for their push to the playoffs. Most people credit the arrival of Matt Nagy and Khalil Mack as the primary driving forces, but they cannot and should ignore how much impact the rookie class had on the season. It was hard to imagine GM Ryan Pace […]

What do you do with a guy who walked 95 batters in 103.2 innings? Simple. Stick him in the minors until he figures out how to throw strikes again, or just cut him. But what if that same guy is making $12.5 million in 2019 and another $13 million guaranteed in 2020? Not so simple. […]

Adbert Alzolay was the Cubs number one prospect heading into the 2018 season.
