Jed Hoyer on how the Cubs would fill the void if Kyle Tucker does not re-sign.
I think that um it’s probably more specific question. I mean that than I would answer. I mean I think that um clearly Kyle had a huge impact on our on our offense this year and so if he’s not here then that that’s a a void and we have to figure out how to replace that. Um but there’s a lot of different ways to to do that. Um and so um I think that’ll be the focus. But yes, I think that there’s no question that you if you if you don’t retain a player of his caliber, then you have to you have to replace those wins and you know that war in some other ways. And I think that’s something we’ll be really focused on. But I don’t how you do that I think can take many different shapes and forms.

Tucker is gone. Cassie and Alcantara platooning in right field.
Tucker not worth it anyways
Bring back Tucker, ONLY on a prove it deal, if not oh well go get that 500 mil from the dodgers or Yankees!
Cubs will sign Tucker if not over 500m. Trust me, Cubs will spend money and over tax this year !!
You guys being brainwashed by the biased media too much. They don’t trust Jed and his plan or ignore his plan and want Cubs to do their way !
Jed’ plan is simple, build with farm not buying , and when the young talent graduated, then push the team to win by adding buying stars !!
Last two years Cubs young players are not ready. This year they are, so they will start to add using money to buy key stars!
The best example is AJ Preller, a gambler not a builder.
He had 11 years in San Diego and Padre still had losing record 896-906! After spending like crazy and trading young talent like crazy! Never been to WS! Let alone win one!!
Good riddance
Tom ricketts won't not pay Kyle Tucker 500m bye 👋 Kyle Tucker
He gone
Let Kyle Tucker Walk,good riddance to the past 😊
He used a lot of words to say nothing
Tucker will be back, 3 years 85-95m
I don't even really care about Kyle tucker. The only reason I think he's worth resigning is because what we traded for him
Hoyer has failed the team and fans. I don't trust anything he says or does.
This guy is the weakest link of the Cubs.
I don't know Jed, I don't trust you
Replace with Cassie! Use saved money for our superstart Cubbie, Kyle Schwarber!
The Cubs are only spending 36% of their yearly revenue on payroll, the fourth lowest rate in MLB. For comparison, the Padres are at 63%, LA sits around 70%. If you want to win in this league, you have to spend.
The Cubs bring in the third most revenue in baseball, yet they rank 28th in payroll to revenue ratio, right alongside small market teams like the Marlins, Rays, Pirates, and White Sox. The difference? Those teams can’t afford to spend big, the Cubs can. Chicago has the money to compete with the likes of LA, Philadelphia, and New York, but instead they operate like a low budget club. For an organization with that kind of financial power, choosing not to spend is unacceptable. It’s not about resources, it’s about priorities. Winning clearly isn’t one for Jed Hoyer and Tom Ricketts.
Lets be honest, this guy doesnt have World Series aspirations. Perfectly happy with a NLDS exit, Ryan Sandberg jersey sales and Wrigley tourist money. You think they're really gonna spend money to compete with that Dodgers rotation and lineup.
