CINCINNATI – Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer plans to take a photo of the whiteboard in the team’s trade deadline command center before erasing it. He compared it to the chalkboard in a the movie “A Beautiful Mind.’’
He’s begun a collection of those pictures. But instead of mathematical equations, the scrawl maps out the team’s evolving plan for the transaction window – some trades that became reality, others that fell short or never really got off the ground.
