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.

The White Sox have been extremely unlucky when it comes to their top prospects dealing with injuries and slowing down their development. Now, they're dealing with another injury scare, as 670 The Score's Bruce Levine is reporting that right-handed pitcher Dane Dunning is dealing with a forearm...
Yu Darvish made his spring training debut on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks and after throwing 36 pitches his day was done. He walked four, gave up no hits and didn't strike anyone out, but his fastball topped out at 96mph and after the 1.1 innings he said there was no pain in his throwing arm....
Yu Darvish returned to game action for the first time since a rehab start in August 2018, and while the right-hander didn't get the best results on paper the Cubs have to be satisfied with his overall performance. The Cubs righty topped out at 96mph on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks and used all...
The Cubs started spring training with a few minor injuries to a couple pitchers and a scary HBP to David Bote. Luckily, things are trending in the right direction on the injury front for the Cubs. Right-handed pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay felt something in his side right before pitchers and...
Star third baseman Nolan Arenado has agreed to an eight-year contract extension with the Colorado Rockies. The 27-year-old was going to hit free agency after the 2019 season, but the Rockies made sure to lock him, signing him to a $260 million deal. The contract also includes a no-trade clause and...
Bryce Harper isn't going to sign with the Cubs. We all know MLB insider Jon Heyman definitely has solid sources, but any fan who follows the every-day cycle of rumors and reports also knows that Heyman is pretty much a mouthpiece for super agent Scott Boras. Whatever Boras wants out in the public,...
Maybe the most disheartening second-half struggle by any Cubs player in 2018 was Willson Contreras. He had just been voted into the All-Star Game, but his offense then declined big time starting in July. That was after he spent part of 2017 actually carrying the offense, as the Cubs were chasing...
Cactus League games have arrived for the Cubs! Here are the latest updates from spring training. Kris Bryant wasted no time proving his shoulder is 100%. A one-handed home run in his first spring training at-bat? Sure, why not!...
Albert Almora Jr. could be great. There's no doubt he can hit, evident by his career .289 batting average and more incredible catches in the outfield than I can remember. However, the former top-10 pick hasn't reached the next level after 331 MLB games, but in a prove it year for Almora and the...
Guys, I really want Tyler Chatwood to be good. I hope he gets it all back and surprises everyone. He's worked all offseason long, working on a small mechanical change that will hopefully lead to better results. But so far, not good. I know, I know, it's spring training and it was his first start...
This looked a lot worse on video than when I first just saw the tweet about Madison Bumgarner beaning David Bote on the head during Sunday's spring training game. Bote left the game under his own power, but the video shows the Cubs infielder not looking too great. I mean, he did just get hit on the...
Kris Bryant was bad for the last four months of the 2018 season because he had a bad shoulder. He cam back not once, but twice and was never able to get fully healthy. His offense suffered because of it, but Bryant is back with a vengeance. For whatever reason the MLB world has forgotten just how...
