According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, the Cubs have signed President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer to a multi-year extension. Before the deal was done, his contract was set to expire at the end of the season.
Hoyer is in his 14th season with the North Siders, and his fifth season as president of baseball operations.
He originally came on board as the team’s general manager in October 2011. Hoyer was a central figure in assembling a Cubs roster that would go on to break the franchise’s 107-year World Series championship drought.
Key moves by Hoyer during his early years as GM included drafting Kris Bryant in 2013, along with trading for Anthony Rizzo from the San Diego Padres in 2012—a move that came after he also acquired Rizzo in a deal for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez when he was general manager of the Padres.
Once he was promoted to president of baseball operations after the departure of Theo Epstein, Hoyer oversaw a transition from the 2016 World Series core of Javier Baez, Bryant and Rizzo, to the product we see at Wrigley Field today, featuring the likes of Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, Shota Imanaga and more.
The Cubs take on the Milwaukee Brewers Monday, with first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. CT. Matthew Boyd (11-3, 2.20 ERA) is set to take on Jacob Misiorowski (4-1, 2.45 ERA) for the Brewers.
The MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31 at 5 p.m. CT.
