Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer spoke for nearly an hour Wednesday morning about the 2021 Cubs and the future of the team, but didn’t really say very much or break any big news.
The news reported Tuesday that hitting coach Anthony Iapoce had been let go was confirmed, with Hoyer noting it was time to “move on,” a sentiment I think many here would agree with. He said that assistant hitting coach Chris Valaika would be considered for the position, but that there would also be a “search process,” so don’t expect this position to be filled soon.
