Enjoy the Arizona sunshine at a distance, with some of the most recent visuals from out at Cubs camp. Plenty of early-arrivers at this point. Nico Hoerner put on a BP show, and it’s not even like he even needs to add more power production to be incredibly valuable: An absolute moonshot off Nico Hoerner’s bat. I’ve never seen Nico hit with this much power #cubs pic.twitter.com/CCZ1sX0P01— Wyatt Baumeyer (@wyattB2024)…
Though I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is the predominant “identity” of the Chicago Cubs of recent vintage, I do think it’s important to note that the Cubs have typically sported one of the better defenses in baseball going back at least a decade. Defense was critical to the 2026 championship run, as a lot of the excellent pitching was really an excellent combination of pitching and…
Park Factors have come up a couple times already for me this week. Michael and I touched on it a bit in the latest BN Cubs Podcast, and I also wrote about it in my recent take on Edward Cabrera and the one possible wart to look out for in his move away from his former South Florida home ballpark. The gist of Park Factors: because every ballpark is laid…
As we discussed yesterday, the Boston Red Sox signing infield utility-man Isiah Kiner-Falefa does not mean, on its face, that the Red Sox are finished trying to improve their infield. He’s not THAT kind of player. But the fact that they paid handsomely to bring him in as depth ($6 million plus incentives) tells me that they do not have a lot of confidence that they will actually be able…
Two weeks from today, the Chicago Cubs will host the Chicago White Sox at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona to kick off the Cactus League slate. The smile that crept over my face as I typed that sentence tells me I am very ready for Spring Training. The San Diego Padres will get initial bids on a team sale by the end of February, according to The Athletic. It’ll still…
The Chicago Cubs’ organization will be quite well-represented in the World Baseball Classic this year, with a whopping 13 players participating. Cubs World Baseball Classic Participants Alex Bregman, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Matthew Boyd will play for Team USA. Miguel Amaya, Christian Bethancourt (minor league deal), and Erian Rodriguez (Double-A pitching prospect) will play for Team Panama. Javier Assad is pitching again for Team Mexico. Cubs prospect Jonathon Long is playing…
In a story tonight at The Detroit Free Press, Evan Petzold reports that Javier Báez is ineligible for Team Puerto Rico in the 2026 World Baseball Classic … due to a suspension for marijuana use. In the year 2026. When it is legal recreationally in 24 states (and legal at least medically in 40/50). So, so stupid. But here’s the crazier part: this wasn’t even a recent test. According to…
Episode 48 of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast is officially live! This week, Brett and I discussed the latest trio of signings (Framber Valdez, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Miguel Andujar) and how they may impact the Cubs and their pursuits (Zac Gallen? A Matt Shaw trade?). Brett and I also argued over the impact of Valdez intentionally crossing up his own catcher. I think he’s over-weighting that a bit. He thinks…
In what is a massive win for the players on the whole – and a bit of a stunner given the ask – lefty ace Tarik Skubal has beaten the Detroit Tigers in arbitration, netting a whopping $32 million in his final year of team control. That was $13 million more than the Tigers’ figure, which itself would’ve been a record jump for a player in his third go at…
Without passing upon anyone’s feelings about the rise of artificial intelligence and the moral, practical, and economic questions attached thereto, I can’t help but believe I won’t be alone in saying this news is NUTS. From the Associated Press: “Major League Baseball players have agreed to let a tech company create AI characters of themselves that can chat and interact with fans. Under an agreement announced Thursday between Genies and…
One of the things I like about Pro Football Focus’ coverage is that the site will often bring to light quality performances of players flying under the radar. For instance, while highlighting each team’s underrated impact player from the 2025 NFL season, PFF’s Zach Tantillo offers up Chicago Bears offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo as a secret superstar. Did I think highly of Trapilo’s rookie season? I sure did! But reading…
While DJ Moore trade rumors might not go quietly into the night, the Chicago Bears wide receiver made it clear that he wants to stick around with this team. And after the year that DJ Moore and the Bears had in 2025, can you blame him? More from DJ from the NFL Honors ceremonies and CHGO below: “We can look forward to causing havoc to the league next year.” DJ…
In addition to his ball-hawking skills, Kevin Byard III provided the Chicago Bears with invaluable leadership, often placing him at the center of pre-game huddles as the team rattled off 11 wins en route to an NFC North title and a playoff victory against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran safety is on an expiring contract. So if 2025 was Byard’s final season in Chicago, he’ll be missed by Bears…
Day 18 of the Chicago Bears offseason. It’s the Friday before Super Bowl LX. If you haven’t already solidified your plans, odds are you’ll be looking for last-ditch pizza plans. But fear not. You should get my friend Jim’s pizza cookbook. The recipes here are so easy and delicious that even I can make them. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has some new members: Introducing the Pro Football Hall…
Some more hardware for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Sure, Joe Thuney was deserving of the NFL’s first Protector of the Year award. Just as Ben Johnson was definitely deserving of more than one vote for the NFL’s Coach of the Year award. But that is a different discussion for another post. However, with that being said, the one no-doubt, slam-dunk award that was handed out at Thursday’s NFL Honors…
Not that he needs any additional motivating factors, but if Ben Johnson is looking for bulletin board material in 2026, then he needs to look no further than this post. Johnson did not win NFL Coach of the Year honors for his efforts in 2025. Instead, it was New England Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel taking home the honors. Vrabel was certainly a worthy candidate whose arrival in New England…
Joe Thuney found a new way to enter the NFL history books. Thuney is the recipient of the inaugural NFL Protector of the Year award. I can’t think of someone more deserving of the first-ever award handed out honoring and recognizing excellent offensive line play than Joe Thuney, which is the highest praise I can give because the competition for this award was stiff. Other finalists included Garrett Bolles (Broncos),…
There is a new twist in the Ian Cunningham saga. In case you somehow missed it, the Atlanta Falcons hired Ian Cunningham as their new general manager last week. Since then, we have discussed the fallout from this news — which is layered and a bit complex. We dissected Cunningham’s role with the Chicago Bears as the right-hand man for General Manager Ryan Poles, as well as potential replacement candidates were…
It has been about 24 hours since NFL on FOX insider Jay Glazer shared his belief that the end of the line is near for Maxx Crosby as a member of the Las Vegas Raiders. Knowing that Crosby’s future figures to be a point of discussion, we dissected the info here. However, that figures to be the first of many Crosby-related posts we do this offseason. Between the Bears’ needs…
Weeks after Caleb Williams’ controversial interception in the Bears’ Divisional Round loss intended for DJ Moore, Chicago’s veteran wideout has finally commented on the play. If you were hoping for some large admission of fault or anything along those lines, don’t get excited. The good folks over at CHGO caught up with Moore at the Super Bowl this week. Adam Jahns of CHGO asked Moore for his side of the…
The Chicago Bulls enacted a comprehensive team teardown in time for this season’s trade deadline Thursday — but it may have been too little, too late. Chicago was called out by SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell and The Athletic’s Zach Harper for their bizarrely guard-heavy trade haul bereft of new first-round picks. And Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune, for one, is skeptical that Karnisovas would even still have any job…
The Chicago Bulls have a problem. An addiction. An addiction to… the second round of the NBA draft. And it’s gotten bad. In the days leading up to the trade deadline, the Bulls traded just about everything they had — and, in the process, added nine (9!) second-round picks. That brings their future total to fourteen (14!) second-rounders, two of which are in the 2026 NBA Draft. Enough to build…
Game one with the new-look Chicago Bulls ended in a loss, and with it, one more step closer to the lottery (and further from the play-in). We prayed for times like this. The Bulls played a very interesting style of basketball tonight. A very obvious ‘go out there and hoop’ kind of game plan. It didn’t lead to a positive result, but there were stretches that actually looked… good. The…
As we previously reported on our live blog, the Indiana Pacers are taking a big swing in a bid for their center of tomorrow. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, The Stein Line’s Jake Fischer, and ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, the Pacers are adding All-Defensive Team center Ivica Zubac and deep bench forward Kobe Brown in exchange for restricted free agent shooting guard Bennedict Mathurin, center Isaiah Jackson, a top-four and 10-30…
Freshly-acquired Chicago Bulls power forward Guerschon Yabusele adjusted his contract before being sent over from the New York Knicks. Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, the 6-foot-7 Frenchman amended his deal to eliminate a $5.8 million player option he has for the 2026-27 season. He’ll thus hit unrestricted free agency for a second consecutive summer, after thoroughly flaming out in New York. Could the 30-year-old revive his value by…
Our Chicago Bulls have acquired an actual center! Shams Charania of ESPN reports that Chicago is being incorporated into an extant deal, and will now obtain 28-year-old reserve big man Nick Richards from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for just-acquired former Oklahoma City Thunder forward Ousmane Dieng — as part of a three-team trade with the Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks. Richards toiled on lottery teams prior to this season….
It happened! The Chicago Bulls have pulled the trigger and traded Chicago born guard Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves! According to reports, the Chicago Bulls traded Ayo and Julian Phillips, for a package of Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks. https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/2019426820173754846?s=20 he Minnesota Timberwolves had been eyeing a Chicago guard—whether it was Coby White, Tre Jones, or Ayo Dosunmu. And let’s be honest, Dosunmu was clearly the…
The NBA Trade Deadline is this afternoon, and the Chicago Bulls have been surprisingly active over the past 48 hours. But being active and having to play a game on the day of the deadline means the coaches might be in a tough spot: do they have enough healthy bodies available to play the Raptors in Toronto tonight? Enter former Slam Dunk Contest champion Mac McClung. The Bulls are reportedly…
Happy Trade Deadline Day to all who celebrate. The last few days have robbed me of any sense of sleep, rest, or hope I had left to give. I’ve been checking my phone every few minutes for a new NBA trade, rumor, or anything that might make teams look different by tonight. After today, it’s silence until the offseason—so let me enjoy every single minute and reckless rumor while I…
Our Chicago Bulls have doing some early spring cleaning this week leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline (which, mercifully, is later today). For those keeping track at home, the Bulls have subtracted Nikola Vučević, Coby White, Kevin Hurter, Jevon Carter and, overnight, Dalen Terry. Coming back to Chicago (and actually staying… so far…) 6-foot-3 combo guard Jaden Ivey 6-foot-3 shooting guard Anfernee Simons 6-foot-3 combo guard Collin Sexton 6-foot-9…
For a Friday morning to start the NHL’s Olympic break, it’s been an… interesting morning. And it all started when Frank Seravalli seemingly innocently tweeted the top of the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery odds. https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/2019774681444725000?s=20 Huh? What’s that part at No. 10 where it says the Florida Panthers’ pick is top-10 protected? Previously, nobody anywhere — including Seravalli — had reported anything more than one protection on the pick: as…
Happy Friday, Blackhawks fans. Our first weekend without NHL hockey gives us a couple days to relax a bit before the Olympic tournament begins in Milan. Without a lot going on other than Blackhawks players traveling to wherever they’re spending time over the two weeks before they get back on the ice in Chicago, I thought I’d drop a couple notes on guys playing well/struggling and provide a schedule of…
Earlier this week, Hawks6 in the comments section asked about the fastest skaters on the Blackhawks right now. Which was a question I had floating around in the back of my brain for a while, but the question sparked me digging in as we got to the NHL’s Olympic break. Using NHL EDGE data, I did some digging on the Blackhawks’ team speed. The Blackhawks’ youngsters possess impressive speed. But…
There was some conversation on social media before, during and after the Blackhawks’ ugly loss in Columbus because Ryan Greene was a healthy scratch. Part of the conversation online about the Greene move was a lot of people (rightfully) believing André Burakovsky has earned a night off. He has indeed been struggling lately, no doubt. And Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill admitted Burakovsky’s last ten games have left a lot…
The Blackhawks won’t take the NHL ice again for four weeks, so we’ll have plenty of time to focus on prospects in the coming days. This weekend, college hockey continues to crank up the tempo as we get closer to conference tournaments and start talking about seeding for the road to the Frozen Four. One prospect I’m interested to see if/how he’s available this weekend is Václav Nestrašil. He left…
In case you missed it — I’m envious if you did not watch the Blackhawks’ game last night — the biggest news coming from the event wasn’t the lifeless first period performance that buried Chicago. It was defenseman Wyatt Kaiser needing assistance to leave the ice early in the game after his leg/knee were landed on awkwardly. This doesn't look great https://t.co/83esyCY5mZ pic.twitter.com/uDd1jg2EFY— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) February 5, 2026 After the…
Happy Olympic Break, Blackhawks fans. Last night’s game sucked, so let’s move on. But, before we do, after the game Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said Colton Dach’s injury isn’t significant and he would be day-to-day but Wyatt Kaiser will likely be out “a bit.” I’ll have some thoughts on that later this morning… I want to start our almost-full-month without games with a really good read from Scott Powers…
This game got off to another slow start, but Columbus got on the board first when Zach Werenski Plinko’d a pass off Louis Crevier and then off Alex Vlasic’s skate and into the net less than five minutes in. Things got worse for the Blackhawks around seven minutes in when Wyatt Kaiser needed help off the ice after his knee/ankle bent a direction that doesn’t feel good. When 20 minutes…
Gavin McKenna has long been viewed as a top prospect in the 2026 NHL Draft class. His stock has been subject to a lot of debate during an up-and-down freshman season at Penn State because of his production not being what many expected/hoped to see from a top prospect. News on Wednesday isn’t going to help his case to go No. 1 in June. Onward State was first to report…
The big trade we expected to see before the NHL’s pre-Olympic trade freeze actually happened. The New York Rangers traded star forward Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings. The Rangers retained half of Panarin’s cap hit. Following the trade, Panarin agreed to a two-year extension with the Kings that has an $11M cap hit. WELCOME TO LA pic.twitter.com/L8KVFRXyG2— LA Kings (@LAKings) February 4, 2026 Multiple insiders have reported the…


The Vanderbilt Commodores (22-2) aim to continue a 15-game home win streak when they host the Oklahoma Sooners (17-5) on February 9, 2026.
Vanderbilt beat Kentucky 84-83 in its last game. Mikayla Blakes led the way with 37 points, four assists and four steals, followed by Aubrey Galvan with 16 points, seven assists and three steals. With Payton Verhulst (18 PTS, 2 STL, 63.64 FG%, 3-5 from 3PT) contriburing the best performance on the team, Oklahoma lost 78-70 against Texas. Zya Vann also added 15 points and three steals to the effort.
