Despite overseeing the team’s first postseason appearance since 2020, Jed Hoyer has taken a lot of heat for the Chicago Cubs’ performance. Hoyer didn’t spend enough, didn’t spend it in the right places, sold the farm for one year of Kyle Tucker, placed too much faith in Matt Shaw, failed to shore up the pitching, wasn’t aggressive enough at the trade deadline, or committed a half dozen other front office sins.
Those are the allegations. What’s the reality? We know how good a season the Cubs had... so how does that translate to a front office report card?
