“I know there’s a lot of talks out there,” Foles said. “Trust me, I hear it, I see it. But at the end of the day, that creates clutter in my mind because I still have to go out here and I have to practice. I go out there with the three group, and I always tell those guys: ‘I don’t care what the frickin’ coverage is or if you think you’re dead on a route, I’m feeling it right now so be ready. I can fit it in anything.’ And I feel that.”
Fleury, who has three Stanley Cup titles and won the Vezina Trophy this past season as the NHL’s top goaltender, might have needed a little convincing to accept the trade from the Vegas Golden Knights and join the Hawks. And while president of hockey operations Stan Bowman wouldn’t reveal exactly how Fleury came to his decision, Bowman did admit Hawks captain Jonathan Toews could be credited with an assist.
Heuer, who had a 3.75 ERA in 61 games for the White Sox between 2020 and ‘21, can pitch his way into earning more opportunities with the Cubs. Heuer, 25, believes Ross will look to use him in high-leverage spots, which he says he wouldn’t want any other way.
He averaged a career-high 14.6 points per game while dishing out 4.8 assists in 2020-21, and his shooting numbers, often one of the biggest concerns in his game, took a step forward. He shot 41.4% from the field, 37.8% from 3 on 8.3 attempts with a true-shooting percentage at 55.1%, all of which are career-highs.
“If all of a sudden you’re out there in a game and you’re thinking through things, it’s too slow. The NFL’s too fast. You have to be able to just let it rip. That’s what I look for. So, absolutely, I don’t want to just be traded to someone I don’t know and, ‘Oh, you get an opportunity to play.’ No, I want to be able to go somewhere where I know we’ll be successful because I know the people in there, I know what they stand for, I know who they are as human beings. That’s what you want. That’s what great teams are made of.”
“Things change, right?” Nagy said. “Disguised coverages. They hide their blitzes. Knowing where your protection calls are, being on the same page as the center. That’s where I think now when things get real and you start putting the pads on and the tempo picks up and you’re playing, now we want to see him execute plays and play fast.”
“Offensively, we all feel it,” Lazor said, “meaning coaches, players, all the people around. … When you’re a quarterback with as much experience as Andy has, you’ve been fooled many times by the defense and hopefully learned from it, which I think he’s proven he has.
“I thought he was doing well with the specific routes,” Nagy said. “Forget the coverages, just what route are you supposed to run within the play? He was doing good there. Now, he’s going to have to really understand, ‘OK, if I’m playing this position, line up, get set and go.’ Things are a lot faster. I’m impressed with him being able to get back here because that was hard when he landed on that shoulder, so we’ll just take it day by day. He’s got the want.”
“We wanted to find some stability day in, day out for the lineup in that second base position,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Friday. “César provides us with someone who not only obviously comes to us with a Gold Glove resumé and has found a nice power stroke over the course of this season, but as a switch hitter, provides a professional at-bat to go with the solid defense.”
