Putting out more than one piece about a new front office hire who isn’t running baseball ops might seem like a bit much, but Tyler Zombro is a different kind of cat. Besides, he could very well be the top dog for an MLB organization at some point in the near future. I can already hear people asking whether he can just take over for Jed Hoyer tomorrow. Though Zombro only officially retired from pitching after the 2023 season, his esteem in the baseball ops world meant the Cubs had to get very aggressive in order to beat out other teams looking to pry him loose from Tread Athletics.
