My Latest - Shota Imanaga rarely ventures around Chicago outside of a quick trip to Dunkin' Donuts. After another stellar start, he's everything the Cubs could have hoped for and more. ‘‘The numbers . . . I don’t think you expect anyone to do that.’’

The Bulls trading Dosunmu - which I don’t think they would - is a short-sighted move that has plagued the organization. The core has shown that they’re not right to bring the Bulls out of mediocrity, so it’s time to move off of them and retool.
