CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs<\/a> locked in president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer for the long term, agreeing to a multiyear contract extension Monday.<\/p>\n The 51-year-old Hoyer’s contract was set to expire at the end of the season — his 14th with the Cubs. He was hired as general manager in 2011 and replaced Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations in 2020.<\/p>\n The announcement came hours before Chicago opened an important three-game series at NL Central rival Milwaukee. Led by All-Stars Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a> and Kyle Tucker<\/a>, the Cubs were tied with the Brewers with a league-best 62-43 record.<\/p>\n In a statement, Hoyer said he’s “so grateful” for the “trust and support” of the Ricketts family owners and called the Cubs “a special organization with an amazing fan base.”<\/p>\n “I’m excited to keep building on the momentum we have and to work with a terrific baseball operations staff to consistently deliver a championship-caliber team for this great city,” he said.<\/p>\n Chairman Tom Ricketts praised Hoyer and his staff for building “a healthy player development organization” and putting “an exciting, playoff contending team on the field.”<\/p>\n “We are looking forward to the rest of the season and to working with Jed for years to come,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 28, 2025, 05:27 PM ET CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs locked in president of baseball operations Jed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-28495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
