The Rundown: Hoyer Addresses Press, Looking at Cubs’ Offseason Options, 4 Teams Facing Playoff Elimination Today

“From Meccano to Legoland, here they come with a brick in their hand. Men with heads filled up with sand. Let’s build.” – The Housemartins, Build

Jed Hoyer held his end-of-season presser on Tuesday, and what did we learn about the 2024 Cubs?

  1. The front office expected some players to outperform their projections. That didn’t happen this year.
  2. Wrigley Field weather hurt the team.
  3. The Cubs need a star player, but Hoyer prefers a more organic route, i.e. someone who is currently a member of the organization.
