It’s spooky season, which means curling up in front of the TV with whatever particular brand of spine-tingling entertainment tickles your fancy. I’m partial to monsters, myself, though your guilty pleasures may skew more toward psychological thrillers or sci-fi. If I had to guess what Jed Hoyer is watching these days, I’d say he’s into the dystopian action horror of The Purge franchise. Or maybe he’s treating them like research, what with the roster turnover the Cubs are about to experience.
They could see at least 12 members of the 40-man roster culled when the 2025 season officially ends, with others perhaps being cast aside by team decisions.
