Chicago Cubs Baseball Chairman, Jed Hoyer, entered 2025 without contract beyond this season.
But with the Cubs sharing the best record in the National League with the Brewers of Milwaukee entering the game on Monday, Hoyer was rewarded with a multi -year extension announced before the opening of the Cubs series in Milwaukee.
Hoyer was hired by Theo Epstein to be a team managing the team after the 2011 season. After the Cubs won the 2016 World Series and competed in five appearances in the playoffs in a six -year section with the duo at the organization’s top, Hoyer was invited to assume the president of Epstein of the baseball operations when Epstein left after the 2021 season.
Hoyer signed a five -year contract at the time. The details of its extension have not been published.
“I am very grateful to the confidence and support of the Ricketts family for 14 years,” said Hoyer in a statement. “Cubs are a special organization with an incredible fans base. I am delighted to continue to take the momentum we have and to work with an excellent baseball operations staff to regularly offer a team of championship caliber for this big city.”
The Cubs failed to reach the playoffs and displayed a record of 311-337 (.480) during the first four seasons of Hoyer at the helm. But with commercial acquisitions such as the Etoile Championships Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker in mind, the Cubs shaped a record of 62-43 and sat at the top of the national league center most of this season.
The announcement of the extension of the Hoyer contract offers additional stability in the last days before the deadline for negotiation of the major baseball league. If rival managers thought it might need to be more aggressive to keep your job – and demand more offers accordingly – then this negotiation angle has been canceled.
