Checking Chicago’s sports status

CHICAGO – We haven’t reached the middle of 2022 yet, but it’s time to check the status of Chicago’s sports teams for the year.

Some seasons have just ended, others are just beginning, and others are fully occupied in the offseason this spring.

The Blackhawks are in full recovery as they embark on a multi-year plan to return to the top of the NHL. For years, the Bulls have been doing this, but a new philosophy with a new front office is contributing to the growth of this franchise after the end of the five-year drought of the playoffs.

The difficult start has stabilized for the White Sox as they are currently in the middle of their competition window with a talented team looking to reach the playoffs for the third time in a row. Meanwhile, the Cubs slowly started the season and struggled to keep up with the Central National League.

The first two months under the new manager of the “Chicago Fire” began positively, but in late April and early May, the pace slowed. The Chicago Red Stars are just one game in the 2022 NWSL regular season, but it was a successful match against Racing Louisville FC on April 30th.

As for the Bears, they have passed the call-up and free agency with off-season volunteer and mandatory training sessions taking place over the next month at Halas Hall.

This week Larry Hawley published an update to the statutes of Chicago teams in this issue of “TikTok Sports Talk” on WGN News Now this week. You can see this in the video above.
