Despite the dreadful season where the Cubs have had two streaks of nine losses or more, two players were selected to the 2022 All-Star Game in Los Angeles, California. Willson Contreras is the National League starting catcher, and Ian Happ was chosen as a reserve in the outfield. Both players deserved their spots. Contreras is dominating the baseball this season, …

We are two weeks away from Chicago Bears training camp beginning, one month from the Bears preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, and two months from the Bears regular season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. As we preview training camp, the biggest questions for every team revolve around the battle for different starting spots. The same goes for …

After being sidelined for over a month, Seiya Suzuki returned from his finger injury. Suzuki took little time to impact the game for the Cubs. Suzuki’s first game back was a Fourth of July matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. In a tied game in the ninth inning, Suzuki cracked a pitch from superstar closer Josh Hader …

We’ve all spent plenty of time this offseason deeply analyzing this Bears team and giving our takes on how we think the team will perform this season. However, I believe it’s equally important to give our northern rivals the same consideration. In this article, I will be predicting the success of each of the Bears’ NFC North rivals, along with …

Kyle Hendricks is the only remaining starter from the 2016 World Series roster that is still a Chicago Cub. Hendricks was the number one pitcher under manager David Ross, following the departures of Yu Darvish and John Lester. After signing a contract extension, Hendricks is under team control for the next few years, becoming a free agent after the 2024 …

So what better way to pass the time than to look ahead at some of the potential storylines for the 2022 Bears training camp. There …

With low expectations already locked in for this Bears season, let’s look again to the future. The Bears have long been a franchise pressed up against the cap, largely unable to assert themselves as major players in Free Agency. This is not going to be true for the 2023 season. We are currently projected to have $88 million- and that’s …

Cubs pitchers have shined this past week with a couple of brilliant starts. One of those pitchers is Keegan Thompson. Keegan Thompson entered the season as a multi-inning relief pitcher. Thompson turned heads with his extended starts in his last two appearances. These two appearances were much better after a disappointing start, where he only lasted 0.2 innings against the …

  Here we are. Mandatory Minicamp has just concluded; Free Agency and the Draft are in the rear-view mirror, and we look ahead to the start of the 2022 training camp. There are plenty of questions and concerns about this year’s roster. It’s the first year of the Poles/Eberflus era, and there has been plenty of turnover. Key players from …

A couple notes on Madden ratings. Madden likes to keep players fairly close to where they finished the regular season the year before- very few offseason events will alter a player’s rating drastically.
