Without coming out and specifically saying so during his Monday news conference, new Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer hinted that we could be in line for major changes in what we will see when the team takes the field April 1 against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.
Or will they? There were other hints, dropped by Hoyer and Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts in the news conference, that the season could wind up being shortened. And possibly be played in part with no fans in the stands, or only a portion of Wrigley Field’s capacity being filled.
