DALLAS — On the last day of winter meetings, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer avoided making promises about the Cubs’ ongoing trade talks.
“We all have done this too long,” Hoyer said Wednesday. “I always say, it’s not just about getting in the end zone. It’s about, literally, you have to kick the extra point before you feel like that six [points] is actually real. … I never feel comfortable as you’re negotiating. I don’t ever get to a place where you feel like you have a deal.
