“Jeux sans frontières.” – Peter Gabriel, Games Without Frontiers
I thought a week of traveling would help relax my angst toward Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer, but I was wrong. While I was in Nashville, a report by Bob Nightengale surfaced that indicated friction exists in Chicago’s front office. On the one hand, you could dismiss the report because of the source, if that’s your preference, and Nightengale did say that Hoyer is expected to return in 2025. On the other hand, the friction could be compounded by other factors that might skew toward a change or restructuring this winter.
