It’s hard to believe that my time with the Chicago Cubs has come to an end. A big thank you to all of the coaches and staff that believed in me, coached me and helped me achieve a lifelong dream of playing in the Majors.
It's a tough pill to swallow, but at the end of the day, I know I gave it my all and can sleep easier knowing that. Thank you
@Orioles
for taking a shot on me in the Rule 5, and for an unforgettable first big league camp! Experiences and relationships that will not be forgotten!
So incredibly excited to be joining the
@Orioles
org! Can't wait to see what lies ahead! Thank you to my
@Cubs
coaches & teammates throughout my career. It was a pleasure to grind side-by-side with you each day. Grateful for lessons learned and memories made along the way.
My first Cubs Con allowed me to interact with the most incredible fans, bond with my teammates, watch a historic hockey game, and make memories to last a lifetime with my wife Syd. I love being a Cub, and I'm so grateful for all this team gives to me.
When describing American history, James Earl Jones' character in The Field of Dreams said, "Baseball has marked the time." In the short history of my own life, baseball has indeed marked the time and this week made quite a mark...

I’ll always cherish my time coming up through the organization and all the players that I’ve had the pleasure of competing alongside. Thank you Cubs fans for the support that you’ve shown.
As one door closes, another opens. There’s a lot to miss, but a lot to look forward to!
I’m excited to start this new chapter with the Phillies!
Clearwater here we come!
Lastly, a major shoutout to my wife Sydney and my family that have been on this ride with me. Your love and support means the most. I’m grateful for the sacrifices you’ve made to help me live my dream.
Headed back to Provo for the first time in a long time! ✈️ Can't wait to be reunited with the
@BYUBaseball
family. See you at the First Pitch Dinner tomorrow night! ⚾️🍴
I'm so thankful for the game of baseball, for the Cubs who let me play it, for all who cheer me on as I strive to pitch at the highest level, and for the magic that this week was.

Just over 1 year ago, I made my Major League debut against the Washington Nationals, and on Thursday, I recorded my first Major League win against the same team at Wrigley.

The following day I had the privilege to play in the Field of Dreams game. It was so surreal to see the movie set, put on that classic jersey, walk through the corn, and step on that mound.

If you haven't crushed a Bang Energy, 3 scoops of C4, and 800mg of advil before folding loads of laundry, then you don't know what being at home in April without baseball during quarantine means
If you haven’t crushed 800mg of ibuprofen, a handful of Red Hot all over your body, chugged 2 cans of monster before the game even started, you don’t know what playing baseball actually means.
The net is always your friend and a great long toss partner. It’s always there, always on time, and it never judges you. Been fun building up the long toss progression. We’ll be off of a mound in no time!!
Keep
@TreyMancini
in your prayers. Just found out about his Stage 3 cancer diagnosis. As good of a ball player he is, I would argue he is an even better teammate, hard worker, and leader. Get well soon! 🙏🙏🙏
Sydney and I have accepted the invitation to fast and pray on 3/29 for those around the world! Money we save from our meals will be donated to help those effected by the coronavirus pandemic. We invite you to do the same!
I invite you to join with me in a worldwide fast—for all whose health permits—to pray for relief from the physical, emotional, and economic effects of this global pandemic.
From one of my teammates at BYU. As an athlete, I've been obsessed with becoming the best version of myself on and off the field. Can't wait to get my hands on this!
In conjunction with
