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 Athletic's Keith Law released his top-100 prospects list in The Athletic earlier this week and he followed it up with another article talking about the 10 prospects who just missed the list. I'm only bringing this up again because Law continues to be the lone voice in the prospect industry that...
ESPN insider Jeff Passan believes that one more big signing is coming for the Chicago Cubs. I'll be honest here folks, I am starting to get annoyed by all these "updates." It's been really crummy that the MLB free agent market has moved at the pace it has, but it has opened the door for the Cubs to...
The Chicago Cubs bullpen will probably be fine and maybe even be really good in 2024. However, I want more certainty. I want one more important move to actually feel good about this group from the very beginning of the regular season. Kenley Jansen, who I've recently written about, is a good option...
Cubs Trade Michael Rucker to Phillies Last week the Chicago Cubs designated right-handed pitcher Michael Rucker for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster after the signing of Hector Neris was made official. Rucker, who has been with the Cubs since he was drafted out of BYU in 2016, has now...
Who doesn't love trade proposals? Jump in! We're about a week away from pitchers and catchers officially reporting to spring training, and while the Chicago Cubs have added some arms to help solidify the bullpen depth I want more. How about making a trade for World Series winning closer and one of...
Left-handed hitter Owen Caissie looks to be the lone gem remaining from the Yu Darvish trade with the San Diego Padres following the 2020 season. At the very least it appears as though the Chicago Cubs did hit on one rising star from that trade return. Caissie played in his age-20 season at...
We have seen several different suitors pop up for free agent Cody Bellinger since the start of the offseason, but during the past month or so the narrative has almost unanimously shifted to the league believing the top free agent player will sign with the Chicago Cubs. Yet, as time passes, someone...
Hey, you gotta give credit where it's due. Fox Sports writer Rowan Kavner recently ranked the most exciting and disappointing teams based on their offseason activity and boy did this create massive backlash among Chicago Cubs fans. Hey, he got the attention he wanted. It was on two fronts, as the...
The Chicago Cubs have been favorites to sign top free agent Cody Bellinger for at least the past month and it's gotten to the point where most and probably closer to everyone around the league expects them to work out a deal. Nothing signals that belief more than the latest predictions from USA...
Listen, did we expect to be writing about Chicago Cubs rumors from a St. Louis Cardinals fan account? No. But also, we didn't expect to be less than two weeks away from the start of spring training with 4 of the top 10 free agents still unsigned. As always, take this was a grain of salt, but what...
This was sad news, as beloved Chicago Cubs clubhouse manager Tom "Otis" Hellmann passed away Wednesday night. He joined the Cubs organization in 1983, first running the visiting clubhouse at Wrigley Field and then serving as the Home Clubhouse Manager through 2022. In 2023, Hellmann was named Home...
After Shōta Imanaga signed with the Chicago Cubs, The Athletic wrote about the pitcher's free agent process that ultimately led to the Japanese lefty falling in love with the city. On his initial visit to Chicago, before he was even posted by his Japanese team to enter MLB free agency, Imanaga went...
