The Cubs announced a flurry of promotions in baseball operations Monday, a week after Jed Hoyer took over as president of baseball operations.
Hoyer alluded to the impending promotions last week, before announcing that he expected to hire a general manager from outside the club.
“We have a lot of great employees here,” Hoyer said. “People that have been working extra hard during the last month and during this transition.”
