CHICAGO -- After five playoff appearances in six years and a half dozen seasons of playing important September games, the Chicago Cubs could be in for an overhaul, according to team President Jed Hoyer.
"Eleven days ago, we were fully on the buy side of this transaction and everyone was calling about that," Hoyer told reporters at Wrigley Field on Thursday. "Obviously, people are now calling to see which players are available, so it's a very different scenario than we expected.
"Life comes at you fast. Eleven games changes a lot of things."
Hoyer watched his team go from first place to 8.
