No, DJ Moore Was Not Open on the Bears’ Final Offensive Play

Thanks to Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, we can finally put to rest the “DJ Moore was open!” angle when discussing the final offensive play of the Chicago Bears’ Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers Let’s allow the Bears coach to take us through it ( via The Athletic ): “I didn’t see him as being the answer in that time. I think he came open more after the ball was released from Caleb. Nixon was man-to-man with DJ and was trailing him and ended up falling off and making a play on C...

Oh Cool, Edwin Diaz is the Latest Superstar to Sign with the Dodgers (UPDATE)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have done it again. Another superstar joins a stupidly-loaded, extremely-expensive team. One of the best closers in baseball is signing with the Dodgers just a year after the Dodgers tried to get the best-available closer in Tanner Scott (who chose the Dodgers over the Cubs, struggled, and is now bumped from his job). Sound the trumpets, it’s Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers: Edwin Diaz and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a deal, league source tells The A...

Brewers Getting Trade Interest on Closer Trevor Megill

As expected, despite earlier denials, the rumors about the Brewers possibly trading starter Freddy Peralta continue to tick up.
