The mysterious allure of the total rebuild

Chicago Cubs president Jed Hoyer recently discussed the Cubs’ recent moves, and cast some shade on the Phillies in doing so:

Jed Hoyer cites the Red Sox and Yankees as examples for the Cubs to follow and mentions the Phillies and Tigers as teams that missed those opportunities to reset: “We have to do some moves in this direction.”

Hoyer is not only disingenuous in claiming the Cubs’ recent moves are about anything besides saving money, but he’s also wrong about the Phillies.
