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.

I thought the 2018 regular season was a roller coaster ride of emotions, but it turns out that the offseason is somehow driving Cubs fans, myself included, even more mad. We're hanging on to every word, trying to decode quotes, pick apart terrible trade proposals and even when Theo Epstein speaks...
Joe Maddon's job for 2019 was never in jeopardy, but it is starting to look like the Cubs may move on from him as the manager after next season. Maddon only has one more year left on his contract and Theo Epstein has confirmed that the team will not work out an extension this offseason. So, Maddon...
The GM meetings start this week and although you shouldn't expect anything huge to happen we're definitely going to see a lot more rumors, reports and speculation flying around. Baseball fans in Chicago, on the South Side at least, got the first taste of just how exciting an offseason can be when...
Cubs prospect Nico Hoerner has only played in 14 minor league games, plus another 15 in the Arizona Fall League, but oh boy have the early returns on the field and off the field been great. Hoerner played in the Fall Stars Game on Saturday and singled to center field on the first pitch he saw....
OK, so all the speculation during the last week is basically the biggest kick to the balls for Cubs fans. The top tier of the luxury tax, $246 million, is apparently going to be the team's made up salary cap and unless the front office finds a way to clear more salary, you can kiss a Bryce Harper...
A year ago I reacted to these predictions and I said there was no chance in hell the Cubs were going to give Yu Darvish a six-year deal, worth $160 million. And well, technically I was right, as the Cubs signed him to a six year contract worth $126 million. Sooooo, bargain! Anyway, MLB Trade Rumors...
Well, on Friday I wrote about how the Cubs coaching staff was pretty much set for 2019, as ESPN's Jesse Rogers reported that Brandon Hyde will return as bench coach. Hyde interviewed for several managerial positions, but will stick around in Chicago. However, it appears as though there will be one...
Guys, I'm going to be really honest here. I'm getting pretty annoyed about all these damn reports saying the Cubs aren't going to be aggressive in free agency, basically giving Tom Ricketts the built in excuse of not exceeding the top tier of the luxury tax. It's pretty weird because all season...
It's been a busy week for the Cubs, who are getting ready to hopefully have a productive offseason (more on that later) but so far they've been picking up options and adding players to the 40-man roster. Early on Friday, the Cubs traded Drew Smyly to the Rangers, while officially bringing back Cole...
The first storyline after the Cubs were ousted out of the playoffs by the Rockies in the Wild Card Game was what changes were going to be made to the coaching staff. People went crazy thinking Joe Maddon was on the hot seat, but Theo Epstein quickly shut down those rumors. There's still the lame...
Today's the two-year anniversary of the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series over the Indians in a classic seven-game battle. My favorite memory will always be Willson Contreras talking about how much winning the World Series meant to him, as he spent pretty much all his adult life in the Cubs...
Remember that time we let ourselves believe that Drew Smyly was going to be the secret weapon for Joe Maddon out of the Cubs bullpen heading into the postseason in 2018? OK, maybe you didn't think that, but some fans did and well that's the fondest memory of the Smyly era with the Cubs. On Friday,...
