As I'm sure many of you are well aware, the Chicago Bulls went a full season without their brand-new network on the largest provider in the city. The results?

MLB RUMORS — Okay, then. Here we go. The calendar flipped to June, and the MLB Rumors started pouring in. I love it. We’re still mostly in the speculative-y stage of the process — like Jesse Rogers contemplating a couple of D-Backs starters as a Cubs trade fits or Jeff Passan doing the same with Sandy Alcantara — but the flood gates are officially open and the MLB rumors will slowly get more serious.
