The Cubs made the news official Wednesday that surfaced at the end of August. The Cubs hired Jared Porter to be the team’s new Director of Pro Scouting/Special Assistant. Porter replaces Joe Bohringer, who will remain with the Cubs in a scouting role.
Jared Porter spent the previous 12 seasons with the Boston Red Sox and was Director of Pro Scouting for the last four years. Porter started as an intern with the Red Sox in 2004 and is very familiar with the Cubs front office having worked with Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer and Jason McLeod.
