Jed Hoyer SPEAKS: How will the Chicago Cubs move forward?

Anything below
Can't wait for Jed to be gone. He's holding the team back
Hope is not a strategy.
Sam looks like how we all feel. Thank you.
Let’s go Mets, sweep the stupid ass brewers
At no point during the press conference did he sound like he was anxious that 2025 is the last year on his contract
I read something Ernie Banks said if the other reams dont play as well and if play better we have a chance to win this Division all most sounds like Jed was saying !!!
hoyer did not resign in shame as he would have done if he was a man of honor. The team must remove this pitiful man, who destroyed our team chemistry and caused us to lose respect across the league in the process. He demoralized our guys and now no real talent will want to sign for a known backstabber. With a true #1 starter and a solid 1st baseman, the much improved roster did not win even 1 game more than last years team as it quickly approached the end of the rebuild. The rebuild is now back in limbo. David Ross would be preparing our team for a playoff run today but the void of leadership created by hoyer caused every single returning player to regress. Baseball is a game of honor and respect and because of the presence of hoyer we have none. Whoever ends up with David Ross as their manager will fare better over the next decade than the team jed hoyer destroyed.
I think Jed is going to give the current team 3 months next year. If they tank early, play bad for one month, then real big player changes will follow. Young players come up.
Low point or the beginning of the disaster was when they lost to San Diego after being ahead by 8 runs.
I forgot to mention this on the podcast: At no point during the press conference did Jed Hoyer speak about trying to win a CHAMPIONSHIP. And that also upset me. -Sam
Same old Same old. Jed's analytics department was DEAD WRONG AGAIN, but rather than take responsibility… now it was David Ross' coaches that were the problem. Embarrassing. For the love of Harry — FIRE JED HOYER!
Hoyer is full of shit!! Hes still stubborn and he knows damn well he's fully responsible and wont man up and take the initiative to do what it takes to fix the cubs problems once and for all!!
You know what I just recently started getting into you guy’s content… You guys do great work! Keep it up.
I didn’t think I was going to enjoy a conversation about how Jed doesn’t seem to care at all… Magically I did. Thanks guys! You’ve been a bright spot on this relative turd of a season.
Does anyone really expect Jed to do anything good if Cody opts out. Doubt that
Do we know he doesn't get an extension if no 2025 playoffs ?? Because I have no faith in Ricketts for pulling that trigger
Jed has done a good job building this team. But if the coaches and players did not perform to their level and plus injuries, and developing young talent. It is not his fault that Cubs did not make playoffs. PCA played under .200 for 4 months but no one blame they stick with him and he finally came through in last two months, that is what you pay (having bad records in those months) to develop a player. Morel did not work and got traded, great decision. But one always can argue too late! If you trade Morel in June, so many people will not be happy ! Common, Jed made almost every decision right ( Neris is not terrible but not good) . They did pay Cody to be a 5 war player. Don’t say Jed was not trying!
If Jed doesn’t resign, Tommy boy Ricketts should can him. If he doesn’t have the balls, sell the team.
I think it is unfair to Jed that you want him to make every decision right.
All the teams you mention in top 7, are all ready to win! NOT CUBS in their 3rd year of TOTAL rebuild!!!
pls Juan soto lol
He has not an executive with a WAR over 2 either lol
Wrigley Field has nothing to do with the quality at bats and clutch hitting the Cubs failed to accomplish! Learn so small ball! Electronic strike zone needs implemented as well!
Hoyer has to get out of here
The Cubs have one more year to make the playoffs before I either quit baseball or find a new team. Cubs fan since 1998 by the way.
My worry is that Ricketts was a trust fund baby and never had to create anything or run anything in his life. It was all set up for him. If that assumption is even close to being accurate, the Cubs need help at the very top. The Cubs are anything but a finely tuned machine on autopilot. In sales, the only success metric is closing the deal. In baseball, the only metric that matters is winning. The rest of the metrics are excuses. Maybe the last two things in life that are binary—> Win deal/lose deal. Win game/lose game. The rest are excuses.
Stay on management!
