Justin Fields had issues throwing the ball last season. There is no way around it. His yards per game was the lowest in the NFL, his completion percentage was barely above 60, and his TD-INT ratio was average at 17 to 11. The reasons for this were many. Fields had a persistent issue with holding […]

The Bears’ first week of training camp is nearly done, with just one more practice tomorrow. But here are my top ten observations from week 1. Justin Fields And DJ Moore Are Destined For A Great Season From the start, there were hints that Justin Fields and his top receiver, DJ Moore, had a strong […]

Well, maybe Rick Hahn is certainly busy on the phone during this trade deadline. The Chicago White Sox have now made their third trade in the past couple days. The latest is with the Houston Astros, who are acquiring right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman. Earlier on Friday, the White Sox traded Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly […]

The Chicago White and Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed on a trade that is sending Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly to the National League West in exchange for two pitching prospects and former White Sox draft pick Trayce Thompson. The deal was confirmed by Bob Nightengale and Ken Rosenthal earlier on Friday. ESPN’s Jeff Passan […]

The Chicago White Sox are close to trading two more pitchers out to the West Coast, as they’re about to complete another deal involving a starting pitcher and a reliever. According to Ken Rosenthal, there is serious momentum toward a deal that will send Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly to the Los Angeles Dodgers. This […]

Left-handed starter Drew Smyly came out of the bullpen last week against the St. Louis Cardinals after Michael Fulmer pitched the first two innings as the opener for the Cubs. Smyly, who began the 2023 season with a 2.60 ERA through his first 10 starts, has been awful since June. Now, the Cubs are finally […]

GM Ryan Poles was beyond thrilled with Darnell Wright when training camp open. Every team has a conditioning test when players first arrive. This is a good way to measure what kind of shape they’re in. Those that fail likely won’t see much work in practice until they show they’re more committed. There were some […]

Lance Lynn is not happy. The big right-hander has not been throwing the ball well and doesn’t know what team he will be playing for tomorrow. There are also rumblings that he is unhappy with the current clubhouse culture.  Lynn knows he is about to be traded. On Thursday he was spotted at a Home […]

When Lucas Giolito first arrived in the White Sox organization there was a palpable buzz around the South Side of Chicago. He entered the 2016 season as the No. 3 prospect in baseball by MLB.com and was joined by other top prospects Reynaldo Lopez, Micheal Kopech, and Yoan Moncada.  That initial wave of players signaled […]

The summer of 2023 has been a wild one for GM Kyle Davidson and his team. With several veteran additions, as well as young prospects making the jump, this offseason hasn’t only been about the great Connor Bedard. Despite all the new, high-dollar “cap dumps”, this summer had a growing theme: weaponize the abundant cap […]

Chicago Bears fans always develop strong connections to former players they loved watching. Not all of them had to be stars, either. It was Emery Moorehead in the 1980s. It was Chris Zorich in the 1990s. If there was one player that captured the love of younger Bears fans, the name that comes up most […]

As the draft concluded, the White Sox made some very intriguing picks in the last 10 rounds. It seems that the White Sox were focused on quality college bats that make a lot of contact, as those can potentially translate over to the major league game easier. Before any of these players step foot on […]

The Chicago Bears have begun their training camp this week following a busy offseason which featured the acquisition of wide receiver DJ Moore, the drafting of offensive tackle Darnell Wright, and the free agent signing of offensive guard Nate Davis. One of general manager Ryan Poles’ lesser notable moves this offseason was the signing of […]

If there’s one thing that can be counted on, it’s that the annual NFL Top 100 player rankings will stir some controversy. What makes it unique is it doesn’t come from a single expert or even a panel of experts. It’s created entirely by votes from players in the league. That is why many analysts […]

The one thing I still don’t understand is how the St. Louis Cardinals announcers and a lot of their fans are trying to somehow argue that Miles Mikolas was justified in hitting Ian Happ because it was payback for, let me check my notes…accidentally hitting Willson Contreras with a backswing, apologizing to him and giving […]

This was some pathetic bullshit from St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas. Ian Happ accidentally hit Willson Contreras with his backswing in the first inning of Thursday night’s game that unfortunately busted open the catcher. Contreras was taken out of the game, as the Cardinals’ trainer could not stop the bleeding from the right […]

Ryan Poles immediately noticed something about the Chicago Bears offensive line when he took over as GM. They were too passive. While the unit didn’t lack talent, it seemed like they were getting blown off the ball by opposing defenses regularly. That was unacceptable for somebody like Poles, a former offensive lineman himself. A proper […]

One of the time-honored traditions of training camp for the Chicago Bears is the defense lording it over the offense. It’s been the case for many years, going back through the 2000s, 1980s, and 1960s. A big part of that is because the defense typically had the majority of talent on their side of the […]
