Ozzie Guillen To The Chicago…Cubs?

ozzie guillen coach chicago cubs

Ozzie Guillen’s made it pretty clear during the last few years that he’d love to get back into MLB. Could that chance come with the Chicago Cubs?

The former Chicago White Sox manager, who led his 2005 club to a World Series title in 2005, would jump at the opportunity of being Joe Maddon’s bench coach. On Monday, Dave Martinez, who was the bench coach of the Cubs since 2015, was officially hired as the Washington Nationals manager.

So, Maddon has to fill that open coaching spot and Guillen wouldn’t think twice about it if he was presented the offer.

Guillen, 53, last managed with the Miami Marlins in 2012. He was only there for one season and hasn’t been coaching in the MLB since. Before that he spent eight years with the White Sox and we all know how that relationship ended. Despite not being in MLB, Guillen has been managing the Tiburones de La Guaira in Venezuela.

But as much as Guillen would want to be the Cubs bench coach, would the Cubs want Guillen?

Well, let’s see, how does Ozzie like the front office being involved in baseball decisions?

This isn’t to say that Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer are at Joe Maddon’s office every day telling him what to do, but it’s pretty clear that the front office and Maddon talk some things out to come to a certain conclusion at times. Plus, I doubt that Maddon would want to bring in someone who has already been successful as a manager to put any pressure on his own job if the Cubs struggle at all.

Just imagine all the meatball fans demanding more “fire and passion” and hey look, there’s the most fire and passion-y guy in the game as the bench coach. Not that the Cubs front office would be swayed by meatball fans, but it just doesn’t make sense for Maddon to give the team any path to the next hire.

But let’s enter in fantasy land, where Guillen becomes the Cubs bench coach. Those press conference would be must-see. Obviously he couldn’t be able to get away with the stuff he’s said in the past, but I mean, it’s Ozzie, he probably wouldn’t care and would still say everything that’s on his mind.

By the way, I know the majority will automatically say no to Ozzie, but is that because he managed the White Sox? We should all be past that now? Or no? Do people really care about that type of stuff anymore because you know, getting Jose Quintana was a good thing, but still saw far too many Cubs fans bitching because he was a White Sox player. That’s not to say Guillen is good fit for the Cubs, because I don’t think he is, but where he played for and managed shouldn’t really be reason number one as to why you hate the option.

By the way, if you didn’t read yesterday’s post about David Ross and the Cubs bench coach job, make sure to give it a look. No, really, actually read it, it doesn’t sound like he wants to the job.

Teams Calling the Chicago Bears About a Josh Sitton Trade

It’s unclear what GM Ryan Pace may have planned for the NFL trade deadline. Most think he’ll remain passive after making a minor deal for wide receiver Dontrelle Inman. Turns out that may not be the case. Word is filtering out from Ian Rapoport and others that the Chicago Bears are taking calls about veteran Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton.

Of course the questions start flying after that. Why in the world would the Bears consider such a move? Well it’s clear that Sitton has some value for starters. Remember that after the Inman trade the Bears are down to six picks in the upcoming draft. That after having only five this past April and May. Normally it’s not wise to go multiple drafts with a limited number of picks.

Then there’s the fact that Tom Compton, whom they signed this offseason has played well whenever he’s gotten onto the field. Pace might think that the team can take advantage of Sitton’s value while it’s still high and plug Compton into his spot moving forward. Don’t forget that Sitton is 31-years old with declining health. Trading him not only gets some compensation back but also clears up $8 million of salary cap space.

This would give the Bears a far more advantageous position going into 2018. More picks to utilize. More money to spend. Also they’ll have Eric Kush and Jordan Morgan coming back from injury to supplement the depth at guard.

Nikola Mirotic Continues To Distance Himself From Bulls Teammates

nikola mirotic continues distance bulls teammates

How does that old saying go? “Time heals all wounds”?

Time will surely heal the broken face of Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic, but it likely won’t heal his pride or his relationship with teammate Bobby Portis. When Portis knocked Mirotic out with one punch during practice a week before their regular season opener, Bulls VP John Paxson tried to convince the media that both parties just needed time to let the dust settle. Water under the bridge in a few short weeks, right?

Wrong.

Multiple sources have reported that Niko’s camp asserts this has become a classic “me or him” situation. If that is the case, how exactly will Paxson and his increasingly invisible partner Gar Forman deal with this?

Here’s what Paxson had to say recently regarding Mirotic’s “me or him” demand:

“We’re really sensitive to this entire issue and what Niko’s going through physically and mentally. We’re trying to be sensitive to him…But just like in anything, as an organization we have to do what’s in our best interest. That’s the bottom line.” – John Paxson

Bottom Line

The bottom line is as follows: Niko and Bobby cannot coexist on this team anymore. This fight was reportedly a long time coming, as the competing forwards have had numerous run-ins spanning the past two years. Portis did extend an olive branch – rightfully so, being the one who threw the only punch and seriously injured his teammate – but there have been no reports of Mirotic responding to any of Bobby’s calls or texts. In fact, Niko has only responded to a select few teammates despite every player on the Bulls roster reaching out to him during his recovery.

Throughout his first three years in the NBA and his free agency summer of 2017, Niko always expressed his desire to stay in Chicago. He and his family have built a happy life for themselves here. But recent rumors suggest that given the fight with Bobby, Niko is even willing to be the one who gets traded. Due to the team option the Bulls have on the second year of Mirotic’s contract, he can veto a trade this season. However, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, Niko’s camp said they wouldn’t veto a trade. Perhaps a change of scenery is the best thing for him after three frustrating seasons with the Bulls.

Something else to think about in the ongoing conjecture of who stays and who goes: Bobby’s trade value right now is significantly lower than Niko’s. The Bulls just picked up the fourth year option on Portis’s rookie deal for next season, but he hasn’t shown any consistent NBA-level talent through two seasons. He’s essentially a streaky shooting guard in a power forward’s body who’s prone to making mistakes. Oh, and he just knocked out his teammate in practice. How many NBA teams want to add that guy to their locker room?

“Calm down, everyone! Don’t all line up at once! We’ll take your Bobby Portis inquiries one at a time.

…Hello? Anybody?”

Mirotic might not have huge trade value either, but it’s definitely higher than Bobby’s. At least he’s shown glimpses of being a serviceable scoring option and three point threat off the bench. Plenty of teams could use that.

Timeline

It’s been two weeks since Mirotic suffered a concussion and facial fractures during that fateful practice on October 17. The initial timeline for recovery of 4-6 weeks remains the same, according to coach Fred Hoiberg. The Mayor also said Niko plans to do some light, supervised activity at the Advocate Center this afternoon. A noteworthy detail? He’ll wait to arrive at the practice facility until after his teammates finish their pre-flight practice. The Bulls head to Miami today for a game against the Heat tomorrow.

Is Mirotic going out of his way to avoid contact and communication with teammates? Or perhaps just Bobby? Although he’s still serving his 8 game suspension for the altercation, Bobby is allowed to attend team practices. Can these two not even be in the same building together? It certainly seems that way right now. One must go. So what’s the holdup?

If Paxson’s plan is to trade Niko, he can’t do so until January 15. If Mirotic’s face fully heals and he’s cleared to play by team doctors in another four weeks, that leaves a window of 1.5 months for Hoiberg to deal with a tornado of media drama and rotation roulette. With Portis off his suspension and Niko ready to play, who gets minutes? Will either of them supplant impressive rookie Lauri Markkanen, who already looks better than both of the “veterans” he replaced because they fought each other? (A. I hope not. Niko and Bobby are the past. Lauri is the future. B. Really excellent “culture” you’re building here, gents. *Eye roll*)

This timeline of Bulls troublemakers returning and possibly being traded has potential to get messy. If Mirotic wants to avoid the drama and leave town with a little bit of dignity, don’t be surprised to see the Bulls shut him down – even if he’s cleared to play – until they find a trading partner. They’ll come up with some PR-spin excuse for why he’s not playing, but we’ll all know the real reasons. He can’t be near Bobby, and Lauri is better than both of them anyway.

Get ready, Bulls fans. The shift from fall to winter is on in Chicago. In time, we’ll see spring again. But these winter months won’t heal any wounds in that Bulls locker room. It’s all broken egos, factions and frostbit cold shoulders until Bobby or Niko leaves town.

Chicago Bears May Not Be Done On the WR Market

chicago bears jarvis landry

GM Ryan Pace did the right thing when he traded a seventh round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for veteran Dontrelle Inman. While not a superstar, the 28-year old veteran at least provided experience and depth to a receiving corps ravaged by injuries. The goal moving forward is clear. Do anything and everything possible to help quarterback Mitch Trubisky be a success. Thing is the Chicago Bears may not be done.

Some think that with the NFL trade deadline at hand and several teams in selling mode, Pace may try to double down. There are a number of intriguing names including T.Y. Hilton and Martavis Bryant. However the most interesting has to be two-time Miami Dolphins Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry.

His names has been attached to trade rumors dating back to the offseason. With good reason too. He’s 24-years old and will be a free agent in 2018. Miami doesn’t have the financial flexibility to meet the high prices he’s likely to demand, so it’s either trade him now or let him play out his contract.

Chicago Bears apparently sniffing around Jarvis Landry

The trade deadline is at 3 p.m. central time today. That means there is still enough wiggle room for Pace to pull some magic if he feels necessary. According to growing buzz, the Bears are in quiet discussions about Landry, along with a handful of other teams.

The debate over Landry is all over the map. Many are saying the Dolphins have no intention of trading him. Others say he’s available but at the right price. What does that mean? Well given the receivers’ accomplishments to this point including two-straight 1,000-yard seasons one can imagine the price is extensive. Most likely somewhere in the second round pick range.

Would Pace meet that price? It’s hard to see that happening. The Bears are already understocked in draft picks. The deal for Inman dropped their total in 2018 to six. This after having only five in the 2017 draft. Giving up another pick for Landry, who will be a free agent next year is dangerous to the long-term outlook of the franchise.

Signing him to a contract extension would be ideal if it were to happen, but that would cost a lot of money. Landry no doubt feels he should be paid top dollar. Is Pace the kind of guy to pay that kind of cash to a player most view as a slot receiver? It’s hard to imagine it. Then again Pace has surprised before.

Three Pitchers The Cubs Need To Target This Offseason

By
Sean Sears
-
Tyler Chatwood, Alex Cobb, Chicago Cubs, SP, Starting Pitchers, Free Agent

There is nothing ‘hush-hush’ about the Cubs offseason plans. The club needs pitching and they are willing to part with MLB talent to obtain the right players.

We know they have an interest in adding someone like Andrew Benintendi from the Red Sox or Christian Yelich of the Miami Marlins, but Cubs most glaring issues involve pitching – and Theo Epstein plans on fixing that to start 2018.

The Cubs are expected to be aggressive in free agency this offseason, and have already been linked San Francisco’s Jeff Samardzija earlier this week. But the Cubs will try to round out their rotation via free agency this year, and here are three names Cubs fans should pay attention to this offseason.

Alex Cobb

The 30-year-old right-hander miss all of 2015 and most of 2016 due to Tommy John surgery. However, Cobb bounced-back nicely in 2017, registering a 3.66 ERA in a 179.1 innings pitched.

Cobb has primed himself for a nice payda, however, his injury history could still drive down the price for the veteran righty. According to a source, the Cubs see Cobb as one of their top targets coming into this offseason, but he will be coveted by multiple teams this winter.

The biggest advantage the Cubs have over others is their newly hired pitching coach in Jim Hickey, who has been Cobb’s pitching coach his entire career. If the Cubs can lure Cobb, the North-Siders will already be benefiting from their shocking coaching.

 

Tyler Chatwood

The former Rockies starter has displayed excellent numbers when pitching away from Coors Field in 2017, sporting a 3.49 ERA on the road, Chatwood looks like the perfect ‘change of scenery’ candidate.

However, despite the striking road numbers, Chatwood regressed after an inspiring 2016 season. Chatwood’s biggest issued seems to be home runs, even when he was pitching away from the thin air of Colorado. On the road last year, the 27-year-old produced a depressing 17.9% home/fly ball rate.

Despite his tendency to give up home runs, Chatwood would be an excellent fit in the backend of the Cubs rotation. The biggest deter will once again be the market. He is a clear-cut reclamation project, but it’s easy to see Chatwood’s asking price outweighing his value.

 

Lance Lynn

The Cardinals righty is another pitcher who did well in their first season back from Tommy John surgery. Lynn posted a 3.43 ERA and tying his career high in games started with 33 last season. While not nearly as dazzling as his 2014 and 2015 seasons were, Lynn still showed he can be an effective starter last season.

The alarming numbers for Lynn last year was the clear decline in strike outs. Lynn threw 186.1 innings this season but only registered 153 strike outs. Compare that to his 2015 season, where the struck out 167 in more than 10 fewer innings.

What makes Lynn attractive is his high ceiling. Once seen as a potential top of the rotation arm, Lynn’s injuries likely keep him from ever being that again. However, teams do not need him to be an elite arm, just a reliable arm.

While the injury history may cost him a few dollars, it won’t scare teams away. As the best arm on the market not named Jake Arrieta or Yu Darvish, Lynn is going to get paid. If the price is right, the Cubs would love to add Lynn, but that currently seems unlikely.

The Latest NBA Power Rankings Are Depressing– If You Still Care, That Is

If for whatever reason you’ve tricked yourself into thinking the Bulls aren’t a shit show then A.) you’re really good at playing ignorant, and B.) I’m jealous.

For those of us paying attention it’s been obvious for quite some time that the Bulls are the worst team in the league. Just look at what they’ve done in the draft over the past few years.

Welp, all those bad decisions have finally caught up with John Paxson and the boys, as ESPN just sprinkled a little salt in our wounds, ranking the Bulls last in their latest NBA power rankings.

Here’s what they had to say-

The Bulls found their first win of the season over Atlanta on Thursday, but this is still a roster that practically invites misery. The Bulls rank dead last in offensive efficiency, last in net rating, and last in workplace harmony, as Nikola Mirotic told management that it’s either him or Bobby Portis. On the bright side, sweet-shooting rookie Lauri Markkanen looks like a keeper.

NFL Scout Gives Sobering Report on the Dontrelle Inman Trade

dontrelle inman trade

The Dontrelle Inman trade was celebrated by Chicago Bears fans. It was a representation that GM Ryan Pace was not ignorant of his teams’ situation. Injuries have wreaked havoc on their wide receiver position. As a result rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky has struggled to get the passing offense off the ground despite tireless efforts.

To date, the #2 overall pick hasn’t even topped 200 yards passing in a game yet. That’s hard to stomach considering Deshaun Watson flirted with 500 yards in Seattle this past Sunday. So much of this has to do with the weaponry. The Bears are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Some people love to shout blame at offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains for his play calling, but that’s only a part of the problem.

Talent can often overcome such issues. Last year is a perfect example. The Bears threw for over 4,000 yards with that same play calling. Why? They had Alshon Jeffery. They had Cameron Meredith. Now they have neither. What people might not be grasping at this point is just how depleted they’ve become.

Dontrelle Inman trade was a plug in a leaky dam

People are already thinking Inman will solve the Bears most glaring issues at receiver. Sure the 28-year old veteran will help, but how much? A scout familiar with him from the AFC West where he played for the Chargers offered his impressions on him. Suffice to say it paints a crystal clear picture of how far this team has fallen.

“Good size,” the scout said. “He was hurt in training camp so he didn’t do much at all this year. Last year was a bigger year for him. Solid. Reliable. Dependable. He’s realistically a fourth (wide receiver), a teams guy. But considering their depth, gosh he’s better than (Josh) Bellamy. He’s better than better Tre (McBride). Kendall Wright is obviously more talented but it’s a trade that works for both ends in an ideal world. His reps were declining even more with Mike Williams coming back in the mix now. Travis Benjamin making some plays.

“He’s not going to wow you. In an ideal world, like I said, he’s probably a fourth. In their situation, he’s going to climb up the chart. I like the (Tanner) Gentry kid. I think they need to keep that guy. Off the preseason tape, I thought there was some stuff to him. It takes time. They’ve got a young quarterback and they need to find a guy for him to develop a relationship with. We’ll see. They’re hurting so bad. I don’t know what the market looks like on teams’ practice squads right now. So the trade works for both.”

In essence the a receiver who would be considered the fourth-best on a normal roster is suddenly in contention to be the #1 guy for Chicago. That is the state of things. If people weren’t sure how bad it was already, how about now? This Bears team is surviving on scraps discarded by other teams. There shouldn’t be any surprise that a rookie quarterback is struggling under those type of conditions.

Dodger Outfielder Could Join White Sox

By
Emmet McClain
-

When it comes to the offseason, the White Sox seem to be the center of attention as of late. Two years ago, Rick Hahn traded for both Jeff Samardzija and Brett Lawrie in hopes to push the team to the playoffs. We all know how that went. And then last December, the White Sox dominated Winter Meetings when they traded both Chris Sale and Adam Eaton. In short, Rick Hahn has been known to be aggressive in the offseason. However, with only a few legitimate assets remaining, many see the White Sox as having a quieter winter this time around. A bullpen arm, back-end starter, and maybe a utility man was the general consensus in terms of who Hahn would target. However, one outfielder currently on the Dodgers might be worth a much longer look.

The name? Joc Pederson

Pederson is still just 25-years-old and was 6th in N.L. Rookie of the Year voting in 2015. He was also an All-Star that same year. Since then though, he has dropped off the map. Last year he batted .246 but was able to add 25 home runs and 68 RBI’s. This season he only appeared in 102 regular season games and he hit just .212 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI’s. He is currently up for arbitration at the end of this season so there is no guarantee he will even be available. The Dodgers could decide to give him another contract or let him walk if they see fit. If that is the case, he could be an interesting target for Rick Hahn. Here’s why:

Cost, Age

Because of his drop off in both usage and production the past two seasons, there is no reason to believe that Pederson would be expensive for a team to sign. And again, with him being still just 25-years-old, he would fit in nicely with the White Sox young core of players.

Depth

If Pederson were to come to the White Sox, manager Ricky Renteria would have a variety of options to play with. He could stick Pederson in left field, put Delmonico at DH, and then put Yolmer Sanchez at third base. He could also put Pederson in center field, and keep Adam Engel as a defensive replacement option in late-game situations. Finally, he could put Pederson at DH, keep the outfield as is, and use either Yolmer Sanchez or Tyler Saladino at third base. The effect of bringing in Pederson would have a ripple effect throughout the entire lineup.

Change In Scenery

Playing in L.A. probably puts a lot of pressure on almost every athlete. Especially a team with a history as storied as the Dodgers. If Pederson came to the White Sox, he could play much looser and with a younger core that he can relate to. There is virtually no pressure for the White Sox to be good next season anyways. Pederson could use the year to adjust to his new surroundings, rediscover himself, and most importantly- have fun.

This is the type of low-risk, high-reward move that could really push the White Sox in a positive direction. Again, we won’t know anything more on the matter until the World Series ends and the Dodgers make up their mind on what to do with Pederson. Until then, it’s at least a solid option to consider if he becomes available.

David Ross Addresses Cubs Bench Coach Position

David Ross speaks during the Chicago Cubs World Series rally in Grant Park, Friday afternoon, Nov. 4, 2016, 2016. | Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

The Chicago Cubs haven’t signed or traded any players yet, but they’ve already made several significant changes and there’s still another move to be made. Dave Martinez, who was the bench coach for manager Joe Maddon, was officially announced as the new Washington Nationals manager on Monday. That leaves his coaching position open with the Cubs and the beloved David Ross has popped up as a possible candidate.

NBC Sports Chicago’s Patrick Mooney reported the following on Sunday.

Two sources familiar with Grandpa Rossy’s situation and the team’s thinking framed it like this: Ross would be on the short list of ideal candidates to become Joe Maddon’s bench coach, but it’s also doubtful that the timing will be right for someone who is raising a young family in Florida and has so many off-the-field interests. After getting so little time off this year, Ross is said to be waiting until after the World Series is over before even considering anything else for next season.

So, you’d take it that Ross, despite being on the short list, isn’t knocking down Maddon’s door asking for the job. Ross made his feelings more clear speaking to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune.

For the Cubs fans who want Ross to be the next bench coach, you might want to move on because the retired catcher doesn’t sound like he wants the job right now.

During his two seasons as a backup catcher with the Cubs, Ross played under Maddon and became familiar with his strategies. Ross also wasn’t afraid to express his thoughts to a disgruntled player or a teammate not following orders.

But it seems doubtful that Ross, 40, would return to a major-league lifestyle with longer hours as a coach. One of the reasons Ross retired after 15 seasons was to spend more time with his wife and three children in Florida.

“Hard to see me jumping back in,” Ross wrote in a text message Sunday. “Was a little busy this year and never got real time off.”

Ross might actually want to enjoy his retirement in 2018, after spending a year as an MLB analyst with ESPN, a long stint on the ABC show “Dancing With the Stars” and was a special assistant with the Cubs front office.

At this point it doesn’t appear that Ross is going to be Martinez’s successor, but both Mooney and Gonzales brought up current Cubs first base coach Brandon Hyde as a more reasonable candidate.

Hyde, 44, has previously been a bench coach for the Cubs in 2014, under Rick Renteria and also with the Miami Marlins in 2010-11.

John Fox Reportedly Fading in Bid to Keep His Job

By

john fox job

The John Fox job status is something Chicago Bears fans have monitored since January. More than a few people thought the veteran head coach would be fired. It made some sense. The team just finished a 3-13 season, the worst the franchise had since 1969. In the end they held off. It was felt a rash of injuries played a big part in the collapse. That and there was a desire to maintain continuity.

Fair enough. At the same time the NFL consensus is that progress should be expected by the third season of a coach’s reign. Simply getting players to play hard each week can’t cut it any longer. Chicago should be starting to win more. They’ve had enough time to remake the roster and install their systems.

Yet the same problems remain. Injuries are hitting everywhere. Players are making painful mistakes that often help decide the outcome of games. Mistakes that a more detail-oriented coach might be able to smooth over. Truth be told this continues to be Fox-style football and it seems the Bears don’t plan to embrace it much longer.

John Fox job security continues to dim after another mistake-filled loss

It’s important to note that this rumor comes from Jason La Canfora. The CBS sports insider has somewhat of a dubious reputation when it comes to accurate information. He’s been right at times but not always. So it’s important not to take this as gospel. More like a growing sense that that the winds might not be blowing in Fox’s direction.

“The next two coaches I am going to list are doing great work in a lot of ways. They have teams with not much talent in some key spots, who are playing very hard, and staying in every game and who actually should have even more wins than they have … but given the realities of their situations coming into the season, it’s not going to be enough.

The Bears defense is playing out of its mind with Vic Fangio leading that unit (more on that below) and won some games with raw rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, but the rumblings about imminent change in Chicago are strong. Fox has nothing to be ashamed of at 3-5 with this team, but even if they duplicate that record in the second half I foresee changes here after two already-lean years in Chicago.”

Fox is now 12-31 as Bears head coach. He has eight games left to go. Even if he won all eight, and that’s not going to happen, he’d still be just 20-31. The general feeling is that two factors are determining his status as head coach moving forward. One is the Bears’ win-loss record. While only GM Ryan Pace knows the line that must be cleared, estimates believe at least a 7-9 mark is needed to save his job.

The other is the progression of rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky

That second one is undoubtedly the sticking point for Fox. Pace put his job on the line when he traded up for the North Carolina quarterback six months ago. Trubisky’s success will make or break his tenure in Chicago. Thus far Fox and his staff haven’t exactly showcased an ability to put the rookie in advantageous positions.

The play calling has been limited and predictable. It’s clear Fox is less intent on applying a scheme that Trubisky is comfortable with (like Houston is doing with Deshaun Watson) and more just running the football a lot. They aren’t finding creative ways to get the ball out of his hands quickly or using his notable ability to run. Yes the team suffers from an acute lack of talent at wide receiver.

Then again one could say New England, Kansas City and Arizona are stacked with weapons either and yet all three of those teams rank in the top 10. Why? Each features a top quality offensive mind calling the shots. With respect to Dowell Loggains he’s never shown a consistent grasp on how to adjust the system to the players he has. It’s growing more apparent by the week that Alshon Jeffery and Cameron Meredith covered up a lot of his faults last year.

So far Fox is not looking good. He’s on course to finish 6-10. Trubisky is struggling. The buzz may be proven right.
