(Champaign-jm) – Illinois football is hard at work in recruiting the transfer portal. On Tuesday, the Illini signed Wisconsin linebacker transfer Leon Lowery. Lowery comes to Champaign for his sixth year of college football. He spent four seasons at Syracuse before joining the Badgers for the 2024 campaign. He racked up 46 tackles in 2023 with 3.5 sacks, before 29 tackles and one sack in 2024.
(Chicago-jm) – The New York Yankees acquired outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Chicago also sent cash considerations to New York, which shipped right-hander Cody Poteet to the Cubs to complete the deal. Sources told ESPN that the Yankees will receive $5 million to offset Bellinger's salary -- he will make $27.5 million in 2025 and has a player option for $25 million in 2026. Chicago will pay $2.5 million to cover part of Bellinger's $27.5 million salary this season. The remaining $2.5 million will either cover the contract buyout if Bellinger does not exercise his player option or go toward his $25 million salary in 2026, according to a source.
(Chicago-jm) – The Chicago White Sox have acquired catcher Matt Thaiss from the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs received cash considerations from the southsiders.
