The Cubs are going shopping for players this winter. And any new players will be under a manager Cubs brass believes in.
Before Friday’s scheduled doubleheader with the Cardinals, president Jed Hoyer said he loves working with manager David Ross. In his second season, Ross’ job changed from trying to squeeze out one final run with a championship core using a different approach to his predecessor to piloting a team looking to the future after a franchise-altering trade deadline.
Hoyer has liked what he’s seen. More than liked, actually, even as the team’s goals have significantly changed.
