I applaud Jed Hoyer for his old-school approach to this offseason. Chicago’s president of baseball operations continues to navigate the trade market after acquiring Kyle Tucker rather than taking the easy way out of just spending. Yes, Harry Dalton and Jack McKeon would be proud of Hoyer’s work thus far. The Cubs are now linked heavily to Marlins starter Jesus Lúzardo and Luis Castillo of the Mariners. Don’t be surprised if Sandy Alcántara and Logan Gilbert are also on Hoyer’s radar.
I have a suggestion of my own if Trader Jed is looking for high-floor/high-ceiling acquisitions.
