Jed Hoyer talks about Kyle Tucker and a possible contract extension

Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer spent some pre-game time Tuesday discussing Kyle Tucker and whether the team can get him to sign a contract extension before free agency. It’s all detailed in this article by Maddie Lee in the Sun-Times.

Here are some of the salient points.

But on Tuesday he acknowledged the obvious: “At some point” the Cubs will talk with three-time All-Star Kyle Tucker’s agent Casey Close about a possible extension.

“But ultimately, you have to go into that negotiation with a value [in mind],” Hoyer said before the Cubs’ 5-2 victory against the Guardians.
