Jed Hoyer doesn’t give much away when speaking publicly, but that doesn’t mean he’s being disingenuous. He’s nearly as transparent as his predecessor, it’s just that he keeps a lower profile and has a knack for pulling off moves no one saw coming. When he does address matters point-blank, you can be sure he means what he says. Like when it comes to how the Cubs plan to continue adding arms.
There’s a little blink-and-you’ll-miss-it quip here that I might be reading too much into, so see if you can identify it before I cover it at the end.
