Patrick Kane issues warning after leaving Red Wings to sign with Blackhawks

Patrick Kane's return to Chicago is about much more than nostalgia. A huge moment for the Blackhawks. Patrick Kane is officially back where his legendary NHL career began. After spending the last three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings , the veteran forward has returned to the Chicago Blackhawks, the franchise that selected him with the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft.

Matt Shaw Could Resume Swinging Soon, James Triantos Staying Present as Deadline Looms

We know the Cubs are in the market for pitching help, both in the rotation and the bullpen, as the trade deadline approaches. We also know that they’ve got a pool of young, versatile position players from which to deal. Some pursuits may be stifled by the dearth of impact arms in the organization, hence … The post Matt Shaw Could Resume Swinging Soon, James Triantos Staying Present as Deadline Looms appeared first on .

Cubs trade target: Emerson Hancock

This is the second in an occasional series about starting pitchers the Cubs might want to target in a trade. I didn’t expect to write this one, but from the same Ken Rosenthal/Will Sammon article in The Athletic that mentioned Reid Detmers, who I profiled yesterday, they also mention Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock: In their […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Doug Drabek

Good news: the Yankees acquired a future Cy Young Award winner as the Player To Be Named Later in a deal in 1984 that sent their 31-year-old veteran first baseman to the Chicago White Sox. Bad news: the Yankees traded said Cy Young winner away long before he won the greatest accolade of his career. […]

Sporcle Saturday: Catchers with 10+ home runs

Good morning! With the unfortunate news of Kyle Teel's injury, the White Sox also lost perhaps their best shot at a catcher providing ten home runs for them on the season. No doubt this was front of mind for many of you when the news broke. As we sit entering Friday's slate of games, though, Drew Romo has five dingers and Edgar Quero has just two. Teel in 78 games last season socked eight home runs, so he really did seem up to the task of getting to double digits. Alas. The post Sporcle Sa...

Patrick Kane is back with the Chicago Blackhawks , but one comment during his introductory press conference quickly drew attention beyond his return to the franchise where he won three Stanley Cups .

Red Wings Have Expressed Interest In Eeli Tolvanen

The Detroit Red Wings are searching for scoring help, and one of the best wingers still available has become a target. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period on the DFO Rundown, the Red Wings have expressed interest in free agent forward Eeli Tolvanen, viewing him as an option to fill a role in their top-six. The interest stems from a clear hole in the lineup. Filling The Kane Void Detroit's need for a top-six winger grew after Patrick Kane departed for the Chicago Blackhawks. Pagnott...

White Sox Minor Keys: July 24, 2026

MLB Pipeline released new top-30 lists for each organization, but the rollout is a little strange, at least on the White Sox’s side. The big hangup is that it doesn’t yet include draft picks because the signing deadline is Monday, so it seems like they could’ve just waited until Monday. Instead, Caleb Bonemer gets a… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 24, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
