Cubs roster move: Jameson Taillon DFA, Andrew Wantz added

Well, this is a bit of a surprise. After Sunday’s game, Cubs manager Craig Counsell had said the team would “discuss” what to do with Jameson Taillon’s next scheduled start, which would have come up Friday against the Yankees at Wrigley Field.

Adam Fantilli's Extension Close — AAV Projected By Blue Jackets Analyst

Following the blockbuster Leo Carlsson offer sheet signing and eventual matching by the Anaheim Ducks, many thought that his $18 million AAV might become the new norm for any upcoming contracts for young NHL stars. That, however, does not seem to be the case.  Connor Bedard, who was selected at No. 1 to Carlsson's No. 2 in the 2023 Draft, signed with the Chicago Blackhawks for a fair bit less. Granted, it's still a pretty healthy number, at a $15 million AAV on a five-year deal. According...

White Sox Weekly: July 20-26, 2026

There is distance growing between the first-place White Sox and those pesky Cleveland Guardians. A series victory in Arlington mixed with a singule win against the Astros created a 2 1/2-game division lead for the Good Guys. This, helped by the fact that Cleveland has now lost five in a row, created some much-needed breathing […]

Munetaka Murakami Hit Two Homers For His Parents And They Still Prefer Their Dogs

It is an unfamiliar pleasure of this Chicago White Sox season that, in the two months when big slugger Munetaka Murakami did not hit a home run for them, the team improved from 3.5 games back in the AL Central, to first in their division with a 1.5-game lead. But you know what's even cooler than winning games? Winning games in blowout fashion when big slugger Munetaka Murakami smashes two dingers on his very own bobblehead day. The Sox had lost their first two in a weekend series against th...
