Advantage: Cubs?

Wednesday, Jan 24

Welcome to today's meeting of the Yu Darvish Watch Group. On today's agenda: Yu Darvish (it's also the agenda for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and well, you get the point). Does the Cubs' signing of a 35-year-old journeyman catcher mean anything? Will a Darvish deal happen this week? Does he follow the @Cubs on Twitter? TELL US THINGS. We can confirm one key Cubs' offseason addition: Baby Baez. Lock him up, Theo. For the White Sox, Don Cooper is "not anticipating" Carlos Rodon to be ready to start the season. That's a bummer. Tonight: The 2018 Hall of Fame class will be announced. But is it a true Hall of Fame without the game's full story, aka Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa?

'I just signed your death warrant'

After an emotional 7-day hearing and 16-month case, a judge sentenced former sports doctor Larry Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison on Wednesday. Now attention turns to Michigan State, who also employed him.

Finally

Joel Embiid will finally play vs. the Bulls (6 p.m., WGN). Fred Hoiberg is quite familiar with the tall man from Kansas: "He whooped our ass in college." And for the 1st time since 2009, no Bulls will be in the All-Star Game.

No quick fix

Are the Blackhawks broken? That's what Joe Knowles asks and answers. As for Corey Crawford, he could travel with the team after the All-Star break. But first: Home vs. the Maple Leafs (7 p.m., NBCSN).

Once is enough

Chris Tabor lived through the Browns' 0-16 season: "Hopefully that never happens again." Yes, especially since he's on the Bears staff now. Not on the Bears staff now: Head trainer Nate Breske, who leaves after 3 seasons.

Channel surfing

Ratings for last weekend's NFL conference championship games were down 8%. The Blake Bortles effect? Say it ain't so. In regards to the Super Bowl: No Bob Costas and no "Please Stand" ad from a veteran's group.
