Minnesota Twins Separating From Baseball President Derek Falvey on the Eve of Spring Training
This is an absolute stunner; less for the content of the decision and more for the timing.

Cunningham, Bieniemy, Reid, ESPN’s Upcoming Super Bowl Blitz, and Other Bears Bullets
Day 12 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I woke up this morning, looked outside, and thought about how being at Wrigley Field on a Friday at 1:20 p.m. CT could fix me right now. Summer is coming … right? I started writing this top Bullet about the Atlanta Falcons hiring away Bears Assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham, then stopped when I realized it was rapidly becoming a post. With that being said, one thing that I’ll share here as a lead point is that I am struggling to strike a bal...

Bedard Benchmarks, History for Kane, the Levshunov Experience, and Other Blackhawks Bullets
I’m old enough to remember when a matchup between Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli was top shelf marketing material. Maybe it still should be. The first and third overall picks in the 2023 NHL Draft , Bedard and Fantilli are two of the three players from their draft class to have already eclipsed 100 career points. And, while Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson (the second overall pick) is getting more league-wide talk than Fantilli at this point, the Columbus center (and Michigan product) has actually scor...
Eli Morgan Signs a Minor League Deal with the Royals, Closing the Book on a Particularly Rough Trade
The acquisition target made sense on paper. Eli Morgan was a guy who’d had lots of success as a big league reliever. The Cubs had some big needs in that area. He was cheap. He still had an option year left. And he was coming off a year with an injury that may well have kept the acquisition price down. I didn’t love what that acquisition price ultimately wound up being – outfield prospect Alfonsin Rosario, who was looking like a breakout player with more to come – but I understood the trad...

Minor Trades Around Baseball, Cubs 40-Man, Early Extensions, and Other Cubs Bullets
The kids wound up getting the entire week off of school because of the massive dump of snow combined with the sub-zero temps. A little bonus winter break for them. We have reached the part of the offseason where the edge-of-40-man-roster moves have started happening. I’m talking about trades, specifically, and the same kinds of ones we see at the a rostering deadline in the fall. Things are getting crowded on the 40-man, teams are contemplating who has options left and who doesn’t, waiv...
