Dorey served as the Cubs' director of amateur scouting for the past six seasons. He originally joined the organization as a national crosschecker in 2012 after previously working for the Red Sox as an area scout from 2008-'11.
The Cubs also named Bobby Basham their director of player development, Craig Breslow their director of pitching/special assistant to the president and general manager, Justin Stone their director or hitting and Jeremy Farrell their assistant director of baseball development.
Basham was the team's director of special projects/assistant director of player development for the past two seasons. He has been with the Cubs since 2012, filling a variety of roles.
In his new role as director of pitching, Breslow "will be tasked with the strategic management of the club’s minor league pitching infrastructure," the Cubs said in a news release. He joined the Cubs last January after a 12-year MLB career.
Stone had served as a biokinematic hitting consultant for the Cubs since 2018 and started Elite Baseball Training in Chicago in 2011," a technology-infused baseball and softball instructional company." In his new role, Stone "will lead the club’s minor league hitting infrastructure and play a critical role in tracking the progress, adherence, and success of the club’s minor league hitting development plans while also serving as hitting coordinator at the lower levels," the team said.
Farrell was the Cubs' minor league field coordinator in 2019. He joined the organization in 2016, initially as a minor league hitting coach.
In another move, the Cubs shifted Jaron Madison to be a special assistant to the president/general manager, a role the team said will have an "emphasis on professional, amateur and international scouting." Madison had been the Cubs' director of player development for the past six seasons.
In September, the Cubs shifted former senior vice president of amateur scouting and player development Jason McLeod to become their senior vice president of player personnel. President of baseball operations Theo Epstein called it a "lateral move." The Cubs were motivated to make changes across their amateur scouting and player development departments because they've failed to develop homegrown pitching and have seen the progress stall for some of their core pieces and key contributors at the MLB level.
The Cubs will announce their new scouting leadership scructure and other changes at a later date, they said.
