REPORT: Kyle Finnegan Signs Multi-Year Deal with the Detroit Tigers

Although the pace of Winter Meetings Day 2 didn’t keep up after its exciting start ( Kyle Schwarber to the Phillies , Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers ), it seems the night will close with some excitement.

The Tigers first acquired Finnegan at the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline (when he was, incidentally, also a target of the Chicago Cubs), but he’ll now extend his stay in Detroit, for a te...

Craig Counsell Speaks: Bregman, Steele, Imanaga, Busch, More

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell certainly fulfills his duty as a “coach” as well as anyone in the game, but part of his unique value is his involvement in some of the more executive-y facets of an organization. He participates at all levels, including player targeting and acquisition. It’s unsurprising, then, that he’s at the Winter Meetings, undoubtedly helping Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins where they need it. Being that he is there in Orland, Counsell spoke with the media in a few hi...

The 2026 MLB Draft Lottery results are officially in. And with them, the full 2026 MLB Draft order has been set! This time, the ping pong balls favored the Chicago White Sox, who landed the top overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. That honor comes a year after being ineligible to enter the lottery due to too much losing. Sometimes it pays to be terrible. And then it doesn’t pay. And then it pays again.

The Bears Hosted 7 Players (Including a QB) For Tryouts on Tuesday

With a pair of practice squad roster spots available, it makes sense that the Chicago Bears hosted more than a handful of players for tryouts on Tuesday. And while the Bears have bigger fish to fry, there is nothing wrong with bringing in some players who could conceivably round out the practice squad as we get deeper into December. A little depth never hurt anyone. Plus, it is always good to freshen up the Rolodex every once in a while. Bears Host 7 Players For Tryouts The Tribune’s...

Can Caleb Williams Still Reach 4,000 Passing Yards?

Believe it or not, we’re in the final leg of the NFL regular season. When the season began, many had 4,000 yards as the goal for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. This number would eclipse Erik Kramer’s franchise record and make Williams the first player in franchise history to eclipse the 4,000-yard mark. With four games remaining on the schedule, Williams has 2,908 passing yards this season, putting him 1,092 yards away from the mark, or 273 yards per contest down the stretch. ...

The Best of Caleb Williams in Week 14

Caleb Williams’ performance against the Packers ended on an interception, a play Williams admitted on Sunday evening he needed to deliver a better ball on to tight end Cole Kmet. Personally, I think he needed to be a tick earlier on the release, and the ball itself would have been fine, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. The fact that we can even have a conversation about that end zone interception in the closing seconds is because Williams drove the Bears down to that spot on the f...

The Kyler Gordon Injury Situation Doesn’t Seem Promising

This is starting to look like a lost year for Kyler Gordon. The 25-year-old cornerback has been limited to three games this season because of a variety of injuries. Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers should have marked his fourth appearance of the season. It was set to be his second game back after returning from a stint on injured reserve. Unfortunately, for the Bears, it wasn’t meant to be. Gordon suffered a groin injury during pre-game warmups and did not play. Chicago’s defen...
