Jed Hoyer has put the Chicago Cubs’ winter agenda in clear baseball terms: pitching comes first.
| Club | Front Office Executive | Winter Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Chicago Cubs | Jed Hoyer | Improve the pitching staff |
The Cubs’ president of baseball operations said Friday that he will concentrate on adding to the club’s pitching group during the offseason. Hoyer indicated the organization is open to every possible route, with no options ruled out as Chicago looks for help on the mound.
That leaves the Cubs positioned to consider the full range of winter work, from outside additions to changes involving the current staff. Hoyer’s message was direct: the pitching unit is where the club intends to make its push.
