The churn continues in the Cubs’ bullpen. Coming into this weekend’s series against the Diamondbacks, the North Siders owned one of baseball’s highest relief ERAs (4.92) and had used more than a dozen relievers. Now Jordan Wicks is set to join that group. The Cubs brought Wicks, their 2021 first-round draft pick, up from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, swapping out Luke Little, who walked four in his relief appearance Wednesday.

WGN TV is interested in carrying local sports again and believes there’s a path to air Chicago Sports Network broadcasts of the White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks that much of the area has missed, the Sun-Times has learned. The sides would have to sort out a lot of details, such as how many games would be included and who would sell advertising for them.

In addition to being a sports-media junkie, I’m a sports-uniform snob. And in my not-so-humble opinion, the Cubs’ new alternate uniform has more in common with the dearly departed Montreal Expos than the Cubs or electric blues. The duds — as in both definitions of the word — are part of a trend in sports that has gotten way out of hand. In pursuit of the precious dollar, teams are donning so many uniforms that some not only look silly, they’re unidentifiable.

Bulls president Michael Reinsdorf accused Comcast of acting in “bad faith” during carriage negotiations for Chicago Sports Network, the new TV home of the Bulls, White Sox and Blackhawks. Reinsdorf appeared with Hawks CEO Danny Wirtz at a Crain’s Chicago Business real estate event Thursday. Reinsdorf said CHSN thought it had a deal with the cable provider in December but it fell apart. He said the issue with Comcast is at the corporate level. “To me, it’s bad faith,” he said, according to Crain’s.
