With a journalism degree from Eastern Illinois University and a decade of Cubs reporting, my work has appeared on 670 The Score, ESPN 1000, and the Pinwheels and Ivy Podcast. I cover Cubs news and analysis for Sports Mockery, including roster moves, game breakdowns, and prospect development.

Spoiler alert, it's not a good update. The White Sox selected Jake Burger with the 11th overall pick in the 2017 draft and he hasn't played a game since tearing his Achilles during spring training in 2018. Three months later, the third base prospect tore his left Achilles tendon again. Burger...
The Cubs should go after Gerrit Cole, there's no real excuse not to, but, whatever, you know the deal. Anyway, after a disappointing 84-win season, finishing third in the division and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014, the Cubs seem to actually be committed to change this...
Shut up. There is literally no risk in the Cubs re-signing right-hander Brandon Morrow to a minor league deal. After being out for a year and half, the 35-year-old isn't dreaming of a payday. He just wants a chance to pitch for the Cubs and his agent is basically begging the Cubs to bring Morrow...
While changes haven't been seen on the roster as of yet, big ones have been made everywhere else for the Cubs so far this offseason. A new manager, new coaches, switching things up in the front office and now the Cubs have a new VP of scouting. The Cubs will reportedly announce the hiring of Dan...
White Sox GM Rick Hahn knows that fans don't give a shit about anything anyone from the front office has to say. At the same time, every single GM is down in Arizona right now at the GM meetings so of course they're talking to the media. You're mostly going to hear general goals for the offseason,...
White Sox free agent José Abreu has until Thursday to decide if he'll accept the team's qualifying offer. If he does, he'll earn $17.8 million in 2020 and then be a free agent again next offseason. If he rejects it, then Abreu is officially on the open market. However, because the White Sox did...
The Padres are ready to make big moves. After signing Eric Hosmer and Manny Machado, bringing up a few of their top prospects in Chris Paddack and Fernando Tatís Jr., the Padres are poised to take the next step and they have a few holes to fill on their roster. Kevin Acee of The San Diego...
Hmm, maybe one offseason too late. While the White Sox didn't make a change at manager, keeping Rick Renteria for the foreseeable future, they did replace their hitting coaches following the 2019 season. Back in October, Frank Menechino was promoted from hitting coach at Triple-A, replacing Todd...
Clever enough to figure out the signs from second base? Cool. Using electronic devices to steal signs? No, no, no! Whether you agree with the rule or not, MLB prohibits teams from using electronic devices to steal catchers' signs. The Athletic published a scathing article on Tuesday, alleging that...
This story is juicy. Stealing signs has always been part of baseball, but everyone in the game frowns upon using electronic methods to do it. It definitely looks like the Astros have been caught red-handed, as not only has one of their former players confirmed it, but there's video evidence of...
We do our best around here to sort through all the rumors each offseason and try to figure out which ones make sense, why certain things may be leaked and most importantly where they're coming from. Jim Bowden has some credibility because he used to be a GM in the big leagues first with the Reds...
Entering the offseason the White Sox have plenty of money to spend, a lot of starting pitchers available in free agency and a spot to fill in the rotation. As things stand now the White Sox have Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Dylan Cease leading their young rotation, with Michael Kopech...
