The Chicago Cubs “Could Consider” Signing Slugging Japanese Third Baseman Munetaka Murakami, Eh?

Over at Marquee, Bruce Levine runs down the many rumors and storylines for the Chicago Cubs this week at the Winter Meetings. It’s a very comprehensive read, and worth checking out. One thing jumped out at me, not necessarily for the strength of the rumor, but instead for the identity of the player.

Bears Nightcap: Bears Stumble in the Rivalry, Steady in the Bigger Picture

The Bears’ five-game winning streak died in the final seconds at Lambeau Field, punctuated by Caleb Williams’ late interception into the end zone — a ball that came out too late, too soft, and into the hands of Packers corner Keisean Nixon. What could have been a statement comeback win instead became a 28-21 loss that dropped Chicago from the top of the NFC all the way to No. 7. And yet, even in defeat, the Bears looked like a team built for January, clawing back from a 14-3 halftime defi...

Jeff Kent is Headed to the Hall of Fame

The Contemporary Baseball Era Committee revealed its Hall of Fame vote, and, among the eight candidates on this year’s ballot, just one received the requisite votes to head to Cooperstown: long-time second baseman Jeff Kent. Kent, a career .290/.356/.500/123 wRC+ hitter who played strong defense and was worth 56.0 WAR, was for years one of those “Hall of Very Good” guys who seemed just shy of the truly elite. He played for long enough to accumulate a healthy resume of counting stats, but ...
