The Chicago White Sox are probably not going to contend in 2024.

They lost 101 games in 2023 and have a long way to go to rebuild their roster.

By the time they are ready to compete again, their ace Dylan Cease will probably be a free agent.

That’s why they are open to trading him for the right return.

There are plenty of teams interested in the right-hander: even though he posted a mediocre 4.58 ERA in 2023, there is a lot of talent in his arm.

He had a 2.20 ERA with 227 strikeouts in 2022, and was named a Cy Young finalist.

His trade market, according to MLB insiders, appears to be heating up.

“Sources: Dylan Cease trade talks have intensified in the last 48 hours, and some people close to the negotiations believe a deal *before* the winter meetings is increasingly possible. Cease’s hometown Braves are among the finalists,” Jon Morosi of MLB Network tweeted.

The Winter Meetings will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, from December 4-7.

There is a good chance Cease is moved before that.

He will be a free agent after the 2025 campaign, so the acquiring team would have him for two seasons before he hits the market unless he signs an extension.

The Atlanta Braves are looking like the favorites to land the pitching star.

If they do, they would be adding to an already very solid rotation that includes Spencer Strider, Max Fried, Charlie Morton, and potentially Reynaldo Lopez, among others.

It would be one of the best groups in the National League.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
