There was never any question about who was going to be the Cubs’ ace this season and manager David Ross made it clear Tuesday, naming right-hander Kyle Hendricks his Opening Day starter.

Hendricks, who will be making his second consecutive Opening Day start, stepped into the No. 1 starter role this spring after the trade of Yu Darvish, but has quietly pitched like an ace for some time.

Ross often referred to Hendricks as a “co-ace” with Darvish during the shortened 2020 season. Hendricks was 6-5 with a 2.88 ERA in 12 starts for the Cubs last season.

While being “The Guy” hasn’t always been something Hendricks has been asked to do or been comfortable with, but he’s stepped into the role this spring and his teammates, both new and old, have taken notice.

“He’s dedicated to not only his craft, but being the best he can be,” Jake Arrieta told the Sun-Times. “For his teammates, the organization, the city of Chicago, the entire state of Illinois, and his fans all across the country. People don’t get to see behind the scenes how dedicated he really is.

“I know this for a fact, and this is just the kind of guy he is, he can look himself in the mirror at the end of each day and say I did everything in my power to be better than I was yesterday. And if you can do that, you can sleep well at night. … I know the fans appreciate him, but I just wish that more people could see everything that goes into his routine in between starts, because it’s very special.”

An 11-year-old girl has died weeks after she struck by a stray bullet at a gas station in the West Pullman neighborhood.

Ny’Andrea Dyer was in the back seat of a car at a gas pump on March 1 when two people outside fired shots at each other, authorities have said.

Struck in her head, Dyer was hospitalized in critical condition at Comer Children’s Hospital until she died Monday night, Chicago police said.

Dyer lived in Richton Park, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

No charges have been filed against the person wanted to firing the bullet that struck the girl, police spokeswoman Karie James said Tueseday.

Police said someone fired shots at an 18-year-old man as he left the store of a gas station in the 100 block of West 127th Street about 10:50 p.m. that day. The man was shot in his groin area and returned fire but didn’t hit anyone, police said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Police said the man was charged with unauthorized use of a weapon.

BOULDER, Colo. — The suspect in the Boulder supermarket shootings bought the assault rifle six days before the shooting where 10 people were killed, including a police officer, according to an arrest affidavit released Tuesday. The documents did not detail where the gun was purchased.

The affidavit also said employees of the supermarket told investigators that the suspect identified by police as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, shot an elderly man multiple times outside the store before going inside.

Another person was found shot and in a vehicle next to a car registered to suspect’s brother, the affidavit said.

Multiple 911 calls paint a picture of a chaotic, terrifying scene, according to the affidavit.

One said the suspect had opened fire out the window of his vehicle. Others called to say they were hiding inside the grocery store as the suspect opened fire on customers.

There were reports of “parties down” and that a male suspect had shot at police. Witnesses called to describe the shooter as having a black AR-15 style gun and blue jeans and reported he might be wearing body armor.

By the time he was in custody, Alissa had been struck by a bullet that passed through his leg, the affidavit said.

He had removed all of his clothing and and was dressed only in shorts. Blood ran down his leg and 10 people were dead, including a police officer shot to death at the scene, police said.

Chicago Bulls: Lose their ninth-straight game to teams over .500 by Ryan Taylor

The Chicago Bulls front office is listening to trade offers for Lauri Markkanen, 23, amidst the final two days before the NBA trade deadline.

Markkenen, the supposed number two scoring option to all-star Zach LaVine, has had an awkward season of undetermined future with the Bulls.

Before the season, the Bulls and Markkanen failed to agree on an extension to his rookie contract. Markkanen will be a free agent this summer due to the failed contract agreements.

According to Bulls insider K.C Johnson, the two parties were “never close” on any agreement to an extension this past offseason.

Sources tell NBA insider @ShamsCharania that teams have expressed interest in Bulls F Lauri Markkanen and Chicago is listening to suitors.

— The Athletic (@TheAthletic) March 23, 2021

This began the talk of Markkanen’s “prove it” year to stay on the Bulls going forward. Since the start of the season, Markkanen has missed 20 games. He was in COVID-19 protocols at the beginning of the year, and then suffered a shoulder injury against the Orlando Magic.

His offensive statistics have, however, backed up his improvements under new head coach Billy Donovan. This season on offense he has averaged 17.7 points, six rebounds, and close to one assist per game. He is shooting 48.3 percent from the field, 39.6 percent from distance, and 83.1 percent from the charity stripe. He is performing a career-best 115 offensive rating and1.9 offensive box plus/minus.

His defensive play is truly what brings his value down. He is recording a career-worst 113 defensive rating, -1.4 defensive box plus/minus, and not recording a block/steal per game. His inability to protect the paint attributes to the Bulls’ allowance of 50.4 points in the paint per game, which ranks them 26th in the NBA.

While Markkanen’s fourth season in the NBA has been anything but normal for him, it seemed like he reached the approval of the vice president of operations, Arturas Karnisovas, this season.

“I think the things we met before the season and the expectations we set for him I think he met,” said Karnisovas before they played the Denver Nuggets. “Again, before he got hurt he was averaging 19 points and shooting 52 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three. We can’t wait for him to come back (from his injury) and help this team win games.”

With two days before the NBA trade deadline, the Bulls are listening to offers from teams about Markkanen. The New Orleans Pelicans could be one option since the Bulls have been connected to obtaining point guard Lonzo Ball for some time now. Even the Orlando Magic have been trying to trade away their star power forward, Aaron Gordon, which could make for another possible trade suitor.

Many options remain on the table for Markkanen’s future. It would be nice for the Bulls to get some type of value back for Markkanen if they are set on not bringing him back next season. The Bulls need to act quickly and decide whether or not they want to bring their power forward back, since the trade deadline ends Mar. 25.

Entering free agency after a record-setting season is the ultimate timing in football. But Bears placekicker Cairo Santos was more interested in keeping a good thing going than seeking a financial bonanza.

Not that Santos didn’t get a huge raise after making 30-of-32 field goal attempts — including the last 27 in a row to break Robbie Gould’s franchise record — for a cap-friendly $910,000 last season. But the three-year, $9 million contract he signed March 11 still only puts him 17th among NFL kickers in average annual salary, per overthecap.com.

But clearly, Santos’ priority after bouncing around from one tryout to the next and kicking for three teams over three seasons following his injury-related demise with the Chiefs in 2017 was to stay in his comfort zone. Not only staying with the Bears, but also with special teams coach Chris Tabor, holder Pat O’Donnell and long-snapper Patrick Scales.

“I was telling my agent all along in the process, I’m rooting for this thing to work out,” Santos said. “That’s where my heart is, to remain with those guys.”

O’Donnell and Scales also were free agents who quickly re-signed. As Santos put it, “The band is back together.”

“It was a scenario that I wanted to happen from when we left our exit meetings,” Santos said. “We had great conversations between us three and the coaches and we were hoping to be back together. I think the three of us allows each of us to succeed to our full potential. And we help each other a lot in the way we work out and push each other to grind a little harder in the weight room, to shag balls, kick an extra set or go down to Soldier [Field]. I think I had a tear in my eyes and just happy having those guys together in the locker room.”

Bears general manager Ryan Pace has to be wishing he could solve every position quandary as well as he fixed the kicker issue he helped initiate by cutting Robbie Gould prior to the start of the 2016 season.

After three problematic seasons with Connor Barth, Mike Nugent, Santos and Cody Parkey, then the eight-kicker tryout circus in 2019, Pace suddenly has too many good kickers. Eddy Pineiro provided much-needed reliability in 2019 — making 23-of-28 field goal attempts, including his last 11 in a row.

And when Pineiro suffered an injury in training camp in 2020, Pace signed Santos, who was even better. Santos’ 93.8 percentage broke Robbie Gould’s single-season record of 89.7. He kicked a 55-yarder against the Panthers. He kicked a game-tying 51-yarder with 1:13 left in regulation against the Saints. And he was 4-for-4 (48, 42, 42, 35) in a 33-27 victory over the Vikings in Week 15.

It was a tough break for Pineiro, but a fitting one for Santos, who lost his job with the Chiefs in similar fashion. After being put on injured reserve with a groin injury early in the 2017 season, the Chiefs signed Harrison Butker off the Panthers’ practice squad and Butker almost immediately won the job — making 38-of-42 field goals (90.5%).

That sent Santos on the comeback trail, where nagging groin injuries threatened his career. His brief stint with the Bears in 2017 as a replacement for Barth ended because of a recurrence of the injury. The perseverance to get here was more physical than mental, though now that he’s back, it’s probably both.

“It was sort of a week-to-week thing and I took advantage of that to make it to a long-term [contract],” Santos said. “It’s a dream come true to have a home again, something that I’ve been searching for the last several years. It means a lot to have that — I don’t want to call it stability because as a kicker you’re always on your toes — but just to see the future more than just one week at a time.”

NEW YORK — Regal Cinemas, the second largest movie theater chain in the U.S., will reopen beginning April 2, its parent company, Cineworld Group, announced Tuesday.

Regal had been one of most notable holdouts in the gradual reopening of cinemas nationwide. For nearly half a year, its 7,211 screens and 549 theatres in the U.S. have been dark. Doors will open early next month with attendance limited to 25% to 50% capacity in about 500 locations.

Cineworld also agreed to a new multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Beginning next year, the studio’s releases will have a 45-day exclusive window at Regal cinemas, roughly slicing in half the traditional period. That doesn’t apply to Warner releases this year, which are streaming simultaneously on HBO Max when they open in theaters.

“We are very happy for the agreement with Warner Bros.” said Mooky Greidinger, chief executive of Cineworld. “This agreement shows the studio’s commitment to the theatrical business and we see this agreement as an important milestone in our 100-year relationship with Warner Bros.”

Regal’s April 2 reopening coincides with the release of Warner Bros.’ “Godzilla vs. Kong.”

The agreement is the latest in a reordering of the theatrical marketplace — a sea change accelerated by the pandemic but viewed as long-in-coming by some analysts given the rise in streaming services.

Universal Pictures last November agreed to deals with AMC and Cinemark — the first- and third-largest chains — to shrink the theatrical window to 17 days, or three weekends. Greidinger at the time said the company didn’t see “any business sense” in that model.

In the United Kingdom, where Cineworld is targeting a May reopening, the Warner agreement shortens the theatrical window to 31 days but can be extended to 45 days if a film reaches a certain box-office threshold.

About half of North American theaters were open as of last week, according to data firm Comscore. In the past few weeks, theaters have been allowed to reopen in New York and Los Angeles — the two largest U.S. markets — for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.

“With capacity restrictions expanding to 50% or more across most U.S. states, we will be able to operate profitably in our biggest markets,” said Greidinger.

State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford has resigned from the board of trustees at Loretto Hospital over how it handled revelations of improperly providing vaccinations to people not yet eligible for the shots.

“I am very disappointed with the recent developments at The Loretto Hospital regarding its use of coronavirus vaccine entrusted to the hospital,” Ford said in a statement issued Tuesday morning.

“Yesterday, I submitted my resignation to The Loretto Hospital’s Board Chairman Edward Hogan because I strongly disagreed with how the reprimand of the hospital leadership was handled. As the state representative for the hospital and as a resident in its service area, I will continue to fight for resources for The Loretto Hospital, a safety-net hospital in the Austin community.”

Hospital CEO George Miller and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Anosh Ahmed have come under fire in recent days after revelations the hospital improperly provided vaccinations to workers at Trump Tower, where Ahmed lives; at a suburban church where Miller is a member; and a luxury watch shop on the Gold Coast where Ahmed shops.

Block Club Chicago broke the stories.

Hospital spokeswoman Bonni Pear has said the two executives received reprimands, but details about what punishments they face have not been revealed.

In a phone call Tuesday, Ford said, “It’s critical that consequences are more transparent.”

Ford previously told the Chicago Sun-Times the two would face “harsh reprimands.”

Loretto had no immediate comment about Ford’s resignation.

BOULDER, Colo. — Police on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect in the killing of 10 people at a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket.

Authorities also identified nine victims after previously identifying a police officer who had been killed.

The victims ranged in age from 20 to 65, said Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold.

The shooting Monday at the crowded supermarket sent terrorized shoppers and workers scrambling for safety and stunned a state and a nation that has grieved several mass killings.

Herold said police engaged in a shootout with the suspect inside the supermarket and that is when Officer Eric Talley was killed.

The suspect was undergoing treatment at a hospital and was expected to be booked into the county jail later Tuesday, said Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty.

Investigators don’t know yet why the suspect opened fire inside the grocery store, Dougherty said. He said the investigation is in the early stages but that detectives believe the suspect was the only shooter, Dougherty said.

A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting told The Associated Press that the gunman used an AR-15 rifle, a lightweight semi-automatic rifle. Officials were working fast to trace the gun. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to AP on the condition of anonymity.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Left-hander Garrett Crochet caught everyone’s fancy touching 101 and 102 mph last season.

A few months removed from college, the Sox’ No. 11 overall pick in the draft also mixed in a plus slider and was close to unhittable. He didn’t allow a run in five appearances.

But in Cactus League games, Crochet hasn’t touched 100 yet.

“I wouldn’t look too far into it,” pitching coach Ethan Katz told the Sun-Times. “Those games [season] are high intensity, but he’s popping 98 and 99, and easily in a real game everything flowing right with his mechanics you can be seeing 100, 101 again.

“I don’t look too much into that because there is stuff they’re working on, a bunch of guys in spring, mentally and physically, and the results in spring don’t mean what you’re going to see in the regular season.”

Crochet gained 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, so that is different. He also has altered his delivery a bit.

“It was a little more crossfire … so he’s working hard on the side to get better direction toward home plate,” Katz said. “It’s also his first time through spring training. He had a different offseason than normal and he put on some good weight.”

Crochet left Game 3 of the Sox’ Wild Card series against the Athletics with a forearm strain, so the recovery from that made for a different offseason.

“When you have a little down time there is a tendency for pitchers where stuff creeps in that you’re not trying to have happen and you have to readjust,” Katz said. “He’s readjusting nicely and it’s starting to come together for him.”

Crochet is scheduled to make his seventh appearance of the spring against the Cubs in Mesa, Ariz., today. He has allowed one run in six appearances covering six innings this spring. He struck out two batters in a scoreless inning against the Diamondbacks Sunday, and has six strikeouts total.

“Every time I go back out there, I feel a lot more comfortable,” he said after a recent outing.

“Once the season gets going and we’re competing against other teams, obviously won’t be able to hold back at that point. Not really even that I’m holding back right now, just trying to perform well and earn myself a spot on the team.”

The triple digits are probably yet to come. Not getting there yet “also has to do with him recovering from an offseason that was different based on what happened last year,” Katz said. “He’s still getting into the swing of things he’s been eased into, and we want to make sure he has ample amount of rest and that we’re not doing anything to stress him too much in spring training.

“He’s working through some things but looking better and better each time out.”

‘A pretty cool guy’

Tim Anderson got in front of concerns there would be tension between himself, a new age star of a different era where players are expressing themselves with bat flips and the like, and 76-year-old manager Tony La Russa.

Anderson said getting to know La Russa and vice versa has eased the transition from former manager Rick Renteria.

“You’re going to figure out somebody when you don’t know them and it’s different when you meet them,” Anderson said. “There’s a lot of people who don’t like me but they don’t know me. And once you get to know me I think I’m a pretty cool guy.”

Chicago Foreclosure Activity Slowly Drifting Up But Remains Low

Tweet

By Gary Lucido,
today at 9:02 am

Here’s just a quick update on Chicago foreclosure activity. Remember that, for all practical purposes, we are in the middle of an indefinite moratorium on foreclosures. It keeps getting extended because of all the people left unemployed from the pandemic. So it’s no surprise that every month the answer is pretty much the same, though some changes are beginning to percolate to the surface.

A couple of weeks ago ATTOM Data Solutions came out with their February Foreclosure Market Report which showed a 16% increase in foreclosures across the nation but that was still down 77% from a year ago. Oh, and Illinois had the third highest foreclosure rate in the nation.

Using their updated data on their RealtyTrac Web site I extended my Chicago foreclosure activity graph below which now shows 11 months of suppressed activity. February was 30% higher than January but it was still 83% below last year.

Chicago foreclosure activity has declined dramatically since the housing crisis. However, the recent plunge is the result of the moratorium placed on foreclosures in light of the Covid-19 crisis.

If we want any indication of what is really going on beneath the covers we have to look at the delinquency rate which I get from Black Knight’s Mortgage Monitor. For the nation it finally dipped below 6% in January but you can see that that’s well above the historic average still. And just before the pandemic hit we were down to a record low of around 3%. Sad.

The nation’s mortgage delinquency rate continues to improve, though it remains higher than it was 7 years ago

Chicago Shadow Inventory

As you might expect Chicago continues to clear the backlog of homes in foreclosure. It had a significant spike up in January but February more than erased that with an 878 unit decline. Makes me wonder if January just had bad data. But there is a clear downward trend and we are now below 2000 units.

The number of homes in foreclosure in Chicago continues to decline during the pandemic
