Maybe now people will pronounce the rookie's last name correctly. It hasn't been a smooth ascension to the Major Leagues for Bote. To tell his story, you need to start at an airport in Mombasa, Kenya. That's where Bote learned he was selected by the Cubs. Africa In June 2012, Bote was with his then-girlfriend, Rachel, his older brother, Danny, plus another friend on a two-week mission trip to Kenya and Tanzania for the New Hope Ministries. He was playing for Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kan., and wasn't thinking about the Draft. Cubs scout Rick Schroeder told Bote that he was going to do whatever he could to sell the team on the versatile infielder. "I said, 'OK, I'm going on a mission trip,'" Bote said. The Royals also were interested, but they thought Bote would be gone for at least a year. It felt as if he spent that much time in the Mombasa airport, because their plane was diverted there. The airport was about the size of a baseball infield, with a concrete floor, some chairs, no walls and a roof. "We saw the sun rise. We saw the sun set there," Bote said of being rerouted because a plane had gone off the runway in Nairobi. They were able to find an internet hotspot, and Bote's brother sent emails to tell family and friends about their situation. "At that point, my brother looked up and said, 'Hey, congratulations, you were drafted by the Cubs,'" Bote said. "There was no call or 'Hey, we're going to draft you,' or 'We're looking to draft you in this round.' It was in the airport. I'm like, 'Hey, let's get out of here.'" Once they got to Nairobi, they set up a sports camp for the kids who lived in the Kibera slum in Kenya. "We just got them out on green grass and just played with them, loving on them, show them what the love of Jesus is," Bote said. "The amount of joy they have and the smiles on their faces for as little as they have -- they're playing soccer ball with trash bags wrapped up with string and they're loving it, loving life." Bote's group learned some Swahili and helped the children with their English. "It was an incredible experience," Bote said. "One of the most eye-opening things was we were invited to dinner by one of the locals there in Tanzania. They provided us with an unbelievable feast. The water there can be tricky to drink, so the family went out and bought sodas for us. "Someone said, 'Just so you know, the sodas alone was this man's monthly wage,'" Bote said. "We drank it in two minutes. It brought tears to your eyes. For what little they had, they sacrificed a month's wages to make sure we had something to drink. They did it with such a gracious heart. It changes your perspective and how you treat people. It's like, 'Wow, if I had that kind of courage, that kind of gratefulness and sacrificial love and giving' -- it was incredible." The five-star hotels in big league cities are a long way from what Bote and his group saw in Kibera. He also recognized that's all the Kenyan kids knew. "To see the joy on their faces is what sticks out," Bote said. "In our view, they have nothing, but they have everything in their eyes. They appreciate what they have and appreciate the love and their family and the whole community they have that supports each other is something you don't see very much. It's eye opening." The Minor Leagues Bote did sign with the Cubs, and he batted .232 on the Rookie-level Arizona League team. In 2013, he hit .227. The next year included a brief stop at Triple-A Iowa, but Bote was a combined .235. In 2016 at Myrtle Beach, Bote batted .337. Sitting in the dugout last week in Kansas City, Bote was asked what turned his career around. He just shook his head. "So many things, so many things," he said. It wasn't for lack of trying. Bote wasn't producing, so he wasn't playing. That's the business. "You're trying not to get frustrated, and I was frustrated many, many times," he said. "Being able to listen to the coaches, listen to the player development [staff], who said, 'Hey, we're going this direction and trust it,' and I got an opportunity to play every day in August '15 and did well. In '16, in the second half, I started playing every day and got into a little groove and a little confidence." Bote recalls a game at Myrtle Beach in '16.

  • December 18, 2014 Espnchicago.Com Cubs Trade
    December 18, 2014 ESPNChicago.com Cubs trade Justin Ruggiano to Seattle By Jesse Rogers CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs traded outfielder Justin Ruggiano to the Seattle Mariners for minor league pitcher Matt Brazis, the team announced Wednesday. Brazis, 25, is 8-6 with a 2.89 ERA in 100 minor league relief appearances since being drafted in the 28th round by Seattle in 2012. He finished last season at Double-A and struck out 84 while walking only 18 in 72 innings pitched last year. In the short term the move opens a 40-man roster spot for pitcher Jason Motte, who agreed to terms with the Cubs this week, though they haven’t made the signing official yet. In the longer term the Cubs now have a need for a right-handed hitter who could share time in left field with Chris Coghlan. A trade for an impact player like Justin Upton of the Atlanta Braves is unlikely, which leaves the Cubs filling the need with a role player. Jonny Gomes has drawn interest and the Ruggiano move could pave the way for his signing. The Cubs want leadership in the clubhouse and Gomes has a history with new manager Joe Maddon, having played for him after Maddon took over the Tampa Bay Rays in 2006. Gomes won a World Series ring with the Boston Red Sox in 2013. The Cubs still have righties Junior Lake and Matt Szczur on their 40-man roster, but the front office has expressed a need for veteran leadership which would come from outside the organization at this point.
