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 Chicago Cubs were one of several MLB teams that had scouts in attendance to watch 22-year-old Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki pitch last week in the NPB and that included Jed Hoyer being there in person as well. Here's the thing, half the league sent out scouts to watch Sasaki's latest start for...
The Chicago Cubs pitched a combined no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates as lefty Shōta Imanaga and a pair of relievers blanked their division foes in the first no-no at Wrigley Field by the Cubs since 1972. The Cubs salvaged the final game of the three-game series, crushing the Pirates 12-0...
UPDATE: Cubs Place Jorge Lopez on Injured List Well, as we speculated earlier the Cubs needed to replace someone in the bullpen as Trey Wingenter was spotted at Wrigley Field today and the answer is indeed veteran Jorge Lopez. Unfortunately, the lasting memory for some Cubs fans when it comes to...
The first thing you automatically think of when you see a picture of a new face arriving at Wrigley Field is, great who's going on the injured list now, and that's exactly the case on Wednesday. Right-handed pitcher Trey Wingenter was spotted with his gear, arriving at the players' entrance at...
Cubs Release Adrian Houser Well, it turns out that Adrian Houser won't end up having a reunion with Craig Counsell. The veteran pitcher was at Triple-A with the Iowa Cubs in August, but he was released by the organization on Saturday, giving Houser enough time to sign with a different team before...
Miguel Amaya Top Two Hitting Catcher There's no chance that his biggest fans thought Miguel Amaya would make this big of a turnaround at the plate because forget about simply being good again, the Cubs catcher has been one of the best at his position since being benched in July. That's right, Amaya...
UPDATE: Ben Brown Not Likely to Return in 2024 Well, this was the fear among fans and Cubs manager Craig Counsell all but confirmed that rookie pitcher Ben Brown will likely not return to the team in 2024. Brown last pitched on June 8, against the Cincinnati Reds and after going on the injured list...
Craig Counsell didn't want to go into too much detail, but it definitely sounds like the Chicago Cubs are preparing to make a change in the starting rotation. Left-hander Jordan Wicks has made a handful of rehab starts at Triple-A this month and after being out since the middle of June because of...
OK, so I just wrote about the Cubs calling up Keegan Thompson to replace Julian Merryweather in the bullpen as the veteran righty is going on the 15-day injured list. A bit surprised that it wasn't Daniel Palencia getting the promotion, but it turns out that Palencia is being called up after all....
The Chicago Cubs placed veteran pitcher Drew Smyly on waivers Monday, giving the other 29 MLB teams the opportunity to claim the lefty and take on the remainder of his contract. However, unlike the Hector Neris decision in which the Cubs released the reliever after he cleared waivers, the team is...
The Chicago Cubs blew out the Pittsburgh Pirates, defeating their division rival 18-8 to get back to .500 Monday night, but the team might be showing signs that it's ready to waive the white flag on the 2024 season. The Cubs already let go of veteran reliever Hector Neris earlier this month and...
Of course I'm going to share Juan Soto in a Cubs hat photoshops on Twitter when free agency officially begins, but I know the deal here. Jed Hoyer isn't going to shell out the biggest contract in MLB history or maybe second biggest because the Ricketts aren't going to say sure, go for it. Sucks,...
