20 years of being a dick to voters/media played a huge role in Belichick being left out of the HALL. Do I agree with it? No. Do I think these voters should not be allowed to vote again because they passed on Belichick for the HALL? Yes.
Bill Polian was the leader of the "make Belichick wait a year" crowd.
The Olympic break is coming and I believe the Hawks want him to play though the break. I also believe they prefer him to play first line minutes at RFD instead of B6 minutes in Chicago.
One of their owners, Art Rooney II does NOT want a rebuild. So my guess is they will bring Rodgers back and hope Will Howard will be ready by the end of 2026.
Ngl, I initially confused Chas McCormick with Jake Marisnick.
Cubs like reclamation projects, I would not mind if the Cubs took a flier of Aaron Sanchez.
The thing is, they don't have to make a trade for him. They can simply wait until he becomes a free agent. IMO, the only things that prevent the Dodgers from getting Skubal is a work stoppage.
Of course I want Jed to be in on and then land Skubal but do you think the Cubs are going to spend 350/400m on a pitcher? They have not even broke 200m on a position player yet.
They have lost what Sterns, Counsell, Hader, Williams, Burnes, Adames, over the last few years and they just keep coming. So, losing Peralta, likely won't mean anything to them.
