I’ve found myself in the last few days getting into “friendly discussions” with baseball fans from all walks of life regarding who is worthy of winning the NL MVP this season. We all agreed to put our biases aside to try and have a rational conversation revolving around a pool of candidates that we would either support (or deny) based off a variety of categories.

Very quickly, I was defending myself from the saber metrics nerd crew. I’m not opposed to the new age statistics that have driven many baseball teams to make important player decisions but I’m also a firm believer that statistics can only tell so much about a player. I was beat over the head with stat after stat after stat comparing players in every aspect of the game. On paper, Javier Baez would probably come in third or fourth in the MVP balloting but thankfully the votes are not cast solely off of numbers.

Don’t get me wrong, Baez’s numbers are pretty goddamn impressive. He ranks in the top ten is damn near every offensive category yet I keep hearing how his low OBP will hinder his case as the MVP (I’m looking at you Buster Olney.)

While his offensive numbers speak for themselves, what I think separates him from other candidates is his defensive versatility and “wow” factor. Yes, I understand the MVP doesn’t have to be nearly as flashy as a player like Baez but let’s be honest here — would you rather watch Javier Baez or Matt Carpenter play baseball?

I rest my case.

Baez went on ESPN 1000 today on the Waddle and Silvy show and shared his top memory as a Chicago Cub. One would think that the decision would be relatively difficult because he has so many great memories to choose from, but El Mago didn’t hesitate when he was asked the question.

In case you somehow cannot recall what home run ball Baez is talking about, allow me to refresh your memory.

That still gives me chills.

The crazy thing about this home run is that if you watch it again, the ball was absoluetly crushed so Baez pimped the hell out of it. However, with the wind howling in, the ball only ended up in the basket. How funny (or terrifying) would it have been watching him pimp that ball only to see it bounce off the top of the wall for probably the longest single in MLB history?

Thank you Mr. Basket for catching that ball.

The 2016 postseason was Javy’s official coming out party as he would go on to share the MVP award of the NLCS with Jon Lester. It also needs to be mentioned that the Cubs won the 2016 World Series in case you forgot.

If this season is any indication of how Baez’s career will be in Chicago, it’s safe to say he’ll have plenty of memories to choose from in the future.

Adrian Beltre To The Cubs?

See, everything about this makes no sense at all, but I still love it even after considering all the factors that go into the Chicago Cubs possibly trading for Adrian Beltre.

According to Jon Heyman, Beltre may waive his no-trade clause if the team looking to make a deal for the veteran third baseman is the Cubs.

The big question here is not whether he’d clear waivers (he will), but whether he’d approve a trade. He still would bring great skill for someone his age and tremendous leadership to any acquiring team, but as a 10-5 player, it’s up to him whether he’d go or not, and it’s well known he’d like to re-sign next year with the Rangers, the team he’ll represent in the Hall of Fame. While it was thought he’d be unlikely to accept a trade to the Braves, the chances are believed better that he’d approve either the Cubs or his old Red Sox team, whose respective third basemen Kris Bryant and Rafael Devers have battled injuries (Bryant is still out and Devers just returned Wednesday).

(Jon Heyman)

Sign me up!

OK, OK, I know what you’re thinking, the Cubs already have David Bote doing a great job of filling in for Kris Bryant, but still why wouldn’t you love to add Adrian Beltre to the clubhouse. He’d fit in right away and he’ll already have several ex-teammates to pal around with and immediately feel welcomed.

Plus, Beltre can still hit a bit, coming in with a .280 batting average through 81 games. Stop, don’t bring up the .390 slugging. Yeah, obviously Beltre isn’t the great player he once was.

Seriously though, a trade for Beltre would cost almost nothing to the Cubs and I’m sure they’ll figure out the money to stay below the luxury tax. And yeah someone, most likely Bote, would have to go down to the minors until rosters expand in September, but at the very least Beltre gives you another guy just in case Bryant doesn’t come back 100 percent or the shoulder injury never fully goes away this year?

Anyway, none of this really matters because the Brewers can just claim Beltre off waivers right now and block the Cubs from getting to him.

Despite 25-Hour Travel Nightmare, Remorseless WNBA Forces Aces To Forfeit

By
Kevin Fiddler

via @CarolynSwords

The “powers-that-be” in the WNBA have struck again, this time forcing the Las Vegas Aces to forfeit a crucial game against the Washington Mystics after major travel issues forced the team to sit in an airport terminal for 25-plus hours.

When the Aces arrived at McCarran International Airport at 11 a.m. last Friday for their 1:13 p.m. flight, the WNBA team never could have imagined what followed. After nearly 26 hours stranded at the airport and arriving hours before the scheduled opening tip, the Aces announced they would not be playing. Despite the dangerous circumstances, WNBA officials announced Tuesday the Aces would forfeit the postponed game to the Washington Mystics.

“While not ideal, it was the best available solution to accommodate both our fans and the scheduling challenges,” WNBA president Lisa Borders said in a statement Tuesday. “Since the Aces chose not to play, the result is a forfeit.”

Translation: Since the Aces — who are already vastly underpaid when compared to their male counterparts and are forbidden from using chartered jets for travel — chose to protect their health (since it’s obvious it is of no concern to the higher-ups at the WNBA), they must forfeit.

“Our entire organization has the utmost respect for the very difficult decision our players made, and we stand with them,” Las Vegas president of basketball operations, all-around badass/coach Bill Laimbeer said in the team’s statement posted on social media.

As a fan, and a human being, I applaud the Aces for taking a stand. Maybe it’s because rookie star A’Ja Wilson and guard Kayla McBride have been so outspoken about pay equality within the league. Maybe it’s because the owners are cheap bastards. Maybe it’s because Washington head coach Mike Thibault whined like a petulant child instead of a concerned coach.

Doesn’t matter either way. The WNBA should be ashamed of itself. With ratings up almost 40 percent this year with the addition of the Aces to the league, you’d think the league leadership would protect its investment but, really, it’s not that big an investment when you pay the players a fraction of the league revenue, especially when compared to all other major league men’s sports.

Worse is the idiotic ban on using chartered jets. WNBA rules state all teams must fly commercially. The league hasn’t stated specific reasons for the policy, other than to create an even playing field between teams that could afford to charter a flight or borrow a jet from a brother NBA team and teams without the resources to do that.

A chartered jet from Vegas to Washington is almost $20,000, which is about half the yearly salary of many WNBA players. The league has capped max salaries at $110,000 while the owners take home 80 percent of the revenue every year. The lowest revenue share in mainstream major league men’s sports has the owners taking home less than 55 percent of the league revenue.

One can almost hear the ice bags crunching on their knees when they were sitting in a terminal for more than a full day.

You can be damn sure this would never have happened to an NBA team. Then again, the NBA doesn’t have an idiotic rule banning chartered jets for its underpaid athletes.

Hell, LeBron James is set to make more than $45,000 PER GAME next season. He could have easily chartered 14 jets in the time it would take for him to lose yet another NBA Finals series.

For Wilson, the whole ridiculous travel ordeal was documented on Twitter.

Despite the ridiculous travel problems, some members of the squad made productive work with the full day of delays. Lindsay Allen and Moriah Jefferson prepared for civic duty by hopping on the web and registering to vote.

Of course Mystics coach Mike Thibault’s whining and lack of empathy didn’t play well with fans.

In the end, if the Aces find themselves one game out of the playoffs when the season ends, it will still be a worthy cause. The Aces have already ruffled the feathers of the ruling class in the WNBA, questioning with conviction how the business has been run for so long.

Something tells me A’Ja, Kayla, and the rest of the surging Aces squad isn’t going to be silenced by a pathetic decision (perhaps a vindictive one) from the same people who make their nest egg on the backs of these hard-working women.

Watch me work? Naw. Watch me revolt.

Finding The Hard Knocks Player Ryan Pace Will Go After This Year

By
Erik Lambert

ryan pace

One thing we’ve learned about Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pace is that he must love HBO. Or at least the popular HBO series “Hard Knocks.” For those who are unfamiliar, it’s a series that follows an NFL team through training camp and preseason every year, detailing the struggles of assembling a competitive roster. It’s been around since 2001 and gained significant popularity.

While the Bears have been fortunate in avoiding this unwanted distraction as a team, Pace seems to have made it his mission to bring a little piece of that action to Chicago. Why? Each of the past three years the Bears GM has gone out of his way to acquire on notable name who featured prominently on the program.

In 2015 he traded a future sixth round pick for Houston Texans tight end Khari Lee, whose biggest claim to fame at this point is an incredible impression of his former head coach Bill O’Brien. Two years ago he scooped up guard Eric Kush who became quite the personality during the Los Angeles Rams appearance that year.

Even last year was no exception as the Bears claimed kicker Roberto Aguayo off waivers after the former second round pick was cut by Tampa Bay.

Despite mixed results, expect Ryan Pace to continue the trend

Thus far Pace can’t say this method is foolproof. Lee did little in his two seasons with the team. Aguayo was cut not too long after he arrived. Kush is the best of the bunch so far, proving to be a dependable backup at both guard and center. With the Cleveland Browns being the host team this year, are there any names from the early going that may end up finding their way onto the Bears roster?

An early name to monitor must be defensive end Carl Nassib. He already made a name for himself on the program when he was filmed giving fellow teammates an explanation of how they can save their money through basic economics. So not only does that proves he’s a good teammate but is also highly intelligent. Two big selling points for Pace.

Not only that, but there are two other factors in his favor. He’s a pass rusher, something the Bears are starved for in recent months due to veteran losses and injuries. Also, there’s an undercurrent of belief that the former third round pick may be on the roster bubble depending on how camp and the preseason go for him.

He’s still just 25-years old and may be a better fit at outside linebacker who he can put his athletic traits to better use. Time will tell if other candidates emerge over the next month.

Golden Knights Near Deal To Acquire Fort Wayne Komets As ECHL Affiliate

By
Kevin Smith
-

Looks like the Golden Knights are expanding their brand and development system. According to Zach Leach of ProHockeyRumors.com, the Vegas Golden Knights are just “a signature away” from signing the Fort Wayne Komets as their new ECHL affiliate.

Last season, Fort Wayne was the ECHL affiliate for the Arizona Coyotes. Vegas currently does not have an ECHL affiliate, which is not unusual. Five other teams in the NHL also do not have a partnership with an ECHL team. However, it is usually a prudent move to have a “double-A” team for players to develop their skills even more.

This move has yet to be confirmed by the Vegas Golden Knights organization.

If this deal does go through, the Komets will join the Chicago Wolves (AHL) as the other minor league team for the Golden Knights.

Many Vegas fans were hoping if the Golden Knights did get an ECHL affiliate, it would come from a brand new team that could from in Reno. Though it is not ideal the affiliate is in the midwest, the team had no trouble with it last season with the Chicago Wolves shuffling players back and forth to and from the AHL.

What do you think Golden Knights fans? Are you a fan to expand the organization and add an ECHL team, even though it is in the Midwest? Or should they grow to expand the team in the region, such as up in Reno?

Vegas fans remember how much fun Wrangler’s games were back in the day, so don’t think because it is an ECHL team it won’t draw a crowd. It will be good for the Knights to show off organizational depth. There is still plenty of time before the start of the season, but we shall see if the Knights want to keep up with theme of their midwest affiliate teams.

New Update Hints Chicago Bears Won’t Budge on Roquan Smith

roquan smith

As the Chicago Bears prepare for their second preseason game tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals, it also marks the 25th day their first round pick Roquan Smith has held out from all team activities over his contract situation. It’s believed the linebacker and his agents are trying to gain a written commitment from the organization not to go after his guaranteed money in the event of non-football related incidents on the field.

Initially, the Bears acquiesced, promising they would not go after the money in the event of an incident involving the new NFL helmet rule. However, Smith’s side has since tried to push for more. They’ve found that GM Ryan Pace is not an easy man to push around. According to Dan Bernstein of 670 The Score, he and the Bears refuse to budge on Smith’s latest demands.

It’s apparent the Bears aren’t willing to set an example for future contract negotiations by caving to these demands. Other NFL teams have said they’re watching this situation with considerable intrigue, wondering how Chicago will handle it. To the credit of both sides, they haven’t let it get ugly as things did with Joey Bosa a couple years ago. Still, Smith remains away from the team and unlikely to play anytime soon.

Roquan Smith must be careful about how far he pushes Chicago Bears

Smith has shown in the past that he’s not afraid to manipulate the system to get an advantageous deal for himself. He didn’t sign a National Letter of Intent when he declared for UCLA coming out of high school. That allowed him to change his mind and go to Georgia without anybody being able to stop him from a legal standpoint. It’s not a surprise he’d do something similar once he got to the NFL.

The problem is he doesn’t have as much leverage this time. He can extend this fight for a few months if he wants. However, it could end up being detrimental to his career. November 13th marks the last day teams can sign drafted rookies. At that point, Smith would be unable to play in 2018. He could still choose to sign with the Bears after that or he could wait until next April and declare entry into the 2019 draft.

The odds of that happening are remote. By then Smith will not have played football in over a year and have a reputation for being a nuisance in contract talks. No team will take him in the top 10, which would end up costing him a lot of money. Right now Smith is projected to make over $18.7 million. If he were to go even in the mid-teens, that would drop to $13.6 million. In other words, he’d lose $5 million or more.

That’s why people shouldn’t panic in this situation. Smith is stubborn but he’s not stupid. He’ll sign his contract eventually just like Bosa did. It’s a question of when he is satisfied the fight has become pointless.

These Chicago Bears Must Do Well in Cincinnati to Avoid Chopping Block

The Chicago Bears play their second of five preseason games tonight in Cincinnati against the Bengals. It will mark the first time the starters get actual game action this year. Mitch Trubisky and the brand new offense will see the field for the first time. Expectations are they will play a few series in the first half. Odds are the length will depend on how they execute.

In truth, the only thing that matters in regards to the starters is that they all get out of that city with as few injuries as possible. On the other hand, this game will provide a chance at redemption for many players further down the depth chart. There were a lot of names who did well in the Hall of Fame game last week against Baltimore.

Others? Not so much. With less than a month before roster cuts are set to commence, these men know one or two mistakes in a game can see their dreams of making the roster dashed. That’s why this game against the Bengals is so vital. It’s a chance to get back in the good graces of the coaching staff.

So who has the most reason to worry and needs to deliver tonight?

Chicago Bears with the most to lose in the second preseason game

Ryan Nall

Hopes were high for the Oregon State running back going into the preseason opener. He’d been having a solid camp and looked like somebody who could threaten for that #3 running back spot held by Benny Cunningham. His first opportunity did not go well. He carried the ball seven times against Baltimore for just 13 yards. Unless he can improve upon that in Cincinnati or make a big special teams splash, he’s in trouble.

Bennie Fowler

The former Broncos wide receiver was considered a strong addition to the depth chart when he signed in March. Not only is he a decent reserve on offense, but also a special teams standout. That isn’t going to help erase the two ugly drops he had in Canton, one of which cost the Bears a touchdown. Matters were made worse when rookie Javon Wims was the player of the game, making his odds to stick on the roster even longer.

Colin Thompson

Early signs in training camp saw the unheralded tight end whom the Bears signed as an undrafted rookie last year looking like something to watch. He was making some nice plays in practice. Unfortunately, he developed a bad tendency for dropping passes. Something that ended up coming back to bite him in the Hall of Fame game. Given how stacked the Bears tight end position is already, mistakes like that can be fatal.

Kasim Edebali

The veteran pass rusher arrived late to the roster this offseason. It was felt his connection to Ryan Pace and the general weakness of the Bears edge rush situation offered him a leg up to make the roster. Then he got injured, missing camp practice and failed to make any sort of impact the preseason opener. At the same time others like Isaiah Irving, Kylie Fitts, and Elijah Norris all collected sacks. Unless he can deliver one of his own, his stay in Chicago could be a short one.

Deon Bush

Vic Fangio praised Deon Bush before training camp for his improvement at safety. That’s something that doesn’t come easily from the veteran coordinator. Bush has had a decent camp but everybody knows practice and game action are different. While he wasn’t bad in Canton against the Ravens, other young safeties like DeAndre Houston-Carson and Deiondre Hall were more active around the football. This has been a persistent problem for Bush since he was drafted two years ago. He better get it fixed fast.

Why the Biggest Fear of a Bears Khalil Mack Trade Is Overblown

By
Erik Lambert

bears khalil mack trade

The idea of a Chicago Bears Khalil Mack trade has floated around for weeks. This ever since the ball started rolling when the star defensive end held out from Oakland Raiders training camp. The 27-year old wants a new contract. One that makes him one of the highest-paid defenders in football. Something he feels he’s earned after three-straight years of at least 10.5 sacks.

Oakland has not budged from their position. In fact, communication between Mack and head coach Jon Gruden, who also controls the roster, is scant at best. Some, including former GMs, are starting to believe this new Raiders regime may decide to trade their star pass rusher for a cache of draft picks in return.

Given how starved the Bears are for pass rush help, the dream of adding Mack to their already impressive defensive lineup one to drool over. Mack paired with Akiem Hicks and Leonard Floyd? Yes, please. Except it’s never that easy. There’s always the logistics that get in the way. Acquiring such a proven player in his prime would be expensive.

Some speculate as much as two first round picks would be required to entice the Raiders towards a deal. Several Bears fans aren’t wild about that idea, fearing it could set the team back for years to come if Mack fails to produce. Except there’s plenty of evidence to prove that this isn’t necessarily true

A BEARS KHALIL MACK TRADE FAILURE COULD BE SURVIVED

The thing is people have put an incredible premium on draft picks these days. They think they’re worth their weight in gold even though evidence shows that the majority of them fail to pan out every year. So I decided to look back through history at some of the biggest trades in NFL history that ended in failure for the team acquiring the big-name player.

The goal was to see if that trade did indeed cripple the franchise, sending them into a dark abyss for a decade or if they were able to survive. The results were rather surprising.

Cowboys trade for Roy Williams (2008)
  • Lost 1st round pick, 3rd round pick and 6th round pick in 2009
  • Trade impact:  Failure. Williams lasted two and a half years and never got to 600 yards
  • Results in the following 10 years:  3 playoff appearances (1 with Williams)
Redskins trade for Robert Griffin III (2012)
  • Lost 1st round picks in 2012, 2013 and 2014 (and a 2nd in 2012)
  • Trade impact:  Failure. RGIII was Rookie of the Year but fell off a cliff after that year
  • Results to date:  2 playoff trips (1 with Griffin) and 3 winning seasons
Saints trade for Ricky Williams (1999)
  • Lost 1st round picks in 1999 and 2000 (and six other picks)
  • Trade impact:  Failure. Williams lasted three years though he did top 1,000 yards twice
  • Results in following 10 years:  3 playoff trips (1 with Williams) and a Super Bowl title
Vikings trade for Herschel Walker (1989)
  • Lost 1st and 2nd round picks in 1990, 1991 and 1992
  • Trade impact:  Failure. Walker was gone after just two and a half seasons
  • Results in the following 10 years:  7 playoff appearances (all without Walker)

That last one should really open eyes. The Vikings committed probably the worst trade in NFL history. They gave up six future high draft picks for a running back they had for less than three seasons. Yet they went on to become one of the best teams of the 1990s. This is proof that it’s more than possible for a team to survive missing on a big trade.

So it’s likely this air of caution from Bears fans is less due to such trades actually crippling franchise and more with something else. What could it be? There’s a simple answer. The Jay Cutler trade. Most see that moment as the turning point of the franchise where it began to slowing sink into the mire its been for almost a decade now.

The Jay Cutler trade did not ruin the Bears. Poor management did.

In that deal the Bears got Cutler and a fifth round pick for their first round picks in 2009 and 2010 along with Kyle Orton and a third round pick. Is that a lot? Yes. Did it completely ruin the Bears long-term? No. Here’s the thing. The Bears had plenty of opportunities to rescue themselves from that expensive deal after it took place. The main culprits weren’t the lost picks. It was GMs Jerry Angelo and Phil Emery who facilitated the collapse.

Their awful combined drafting from 2011 to 2012, both years where the Bears had first round picks, were a bigger factor in things falling apart than the Cutler trade. Try to imagine this. Say instead of Gabe Carimi and Shea McClellin being the two guys selected those years, the Bears had managed to grab Rodney Hudson and Chandler Jones. Both of whom were selected not too long after Chicago picked and became Pro Bowlers.

Would things have spiraled so far out of control? Never mind how many outright whiffs they had in the later rounds in both drafts. Nathan Enderle anybody? Evan Rodriguez? Greg McCoy? Part of dealing with the fallout of a blockbuster trade is being able to maximize the picks you have left. That’s what GMs get paid to do, and here’s the thing. It’s something Ryan Pace does well.

Just look at the list of names he’s added to the roster in the fourth round or later:

  • Adrian Amos
  • Nick Kwiatkoski
  • Jordan Howard
  • Eddie Jackson
  • Tarik Cohen

There’s reason to think he is the type of guy who could survive for a couple years without first round picks. Especially since he’s already done a fair job establishing the young nucleus of this new Bears team. Even if a Mack trade didn’t produce as hoped, he’s proven he can find talent in unexpected places.

Another Ryan Pace Late Round Pick is Quietly Ascending

By

ryan pace

Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pace has already developed a reputation for finding talent in the later rounds of the NFL draft. In 2015 he grabbed Adrian Amos in the fifth round. He’s become their starter at safety. Jordan Howard, also a fifth rounder came out of Indiana in 2016. Eddie Jackson has already established himself as leader of the secondary and he was a fourth round pick last year, as was Tarik Cohen.

Getting four major contributors to your football teams in the fourth round or later through three drafts is pretty solid work by Pace. The crazy thing is it might not be over yet. Some signs have begun to appear that yet another late round choice is starting to look like more of a playmaker at his position. Enough to where if it keeps up he may challenge not just for a roster spot, but a starting job.

One of the biggest things defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has harped on this offseason is creating more turnovers. Few in the secondary have taken this to heart more than safety DeAndre Houston-Carson. The former sixth round pick, who has primarily worked for special teams since being drafted, showed improvement as a defender in the Hall of Fame game.

It wasn’t a fluke either. Houston-Carson has also been doing similar things in practice. He’s finding his way to the football a lot, and it’s becoming harder not to notice.

Ryan Pace knew Houston-Carson could develop into something more

Draft experts like Lance Zierlein wouldn’t be surprised by this development. He stated back in 2016 that Houston-Carson had the physical makeup of a starting safety in the NFL. He has cornerback athleticism and range. The only thing he needed to figure out was playing safety with more discipline. Often a difficult transition that takes time for young kids coming out of smaller schools like he did.

“While he is a ready, aggressive tackler, he still needs more beef on his frame and has to fine tune his angles to the ball to eliminate some of the big plays he has had a hand in. His physical and mental tools are starter’s quality and his special teams talent should get him on the field right away.”

This is exactly how things have gone. Houston-Carson became a special teams fixture over the past two years. Now he’s starting to elevate his play on defense as his comfort level increases. With four preseason games left, he’s set himself up with a huge opportunity. The Bears may appear set at safety with Jackson and Amos, but that can change quickly.

Amos lost his job last year before an injury to veteran Quintin Demps got him back on the field. That could easily happen to him. Then there’s the possibility that Houston-Carson keeps making plays. If that happens, it may be difficult to justify keeping him off the field. That may sound like a problem, but it’s one Pace and the coaches would love to have.

Bulls Will Be Part Of NBA’s Mexico City Showcase

The NBA has done a tremendous job marketing the league internationally over the last few decades. However, when you think of the NBA’s international presence, Mexico isn’t one of the first countries that come to mind.

The league is trying to change that. The Orlando Magic will be hosting two games in Mexico City, the third consecutive season that the NBA has held games in Mexico, with the Bulls being one of Orlando’s opponents.

The Bulls have played preseason games in France, England, and Brazil in the past, but this will be the first time they play a regular season game outside of the United States or Canada.

The remainder of the NBA schedule will be released shortly, with opening week games along with Christmas Day and MLK Day games already announced.
