Jed Hoyer feeling upbeat about Cubs: 'I believe we're going to absolutely compete.'
After he started launching star veterans during the 2021 season and continued shedding players through the winter, the Cubs' president of baseball operations was asked when he was going to start building the roster back up.
Those are two significant contracts, but it wasn't enough to get the Cubs back on competitive footing. The minor-league system, which had been barren for years, perked back up behind positional prospects like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kevin Alcantara, Matt Mervis and Cristian Hernandez. "In the National League, the six teams that make the playoffs are going to earn it," Hoyer said of the upcoming season."There are a lot of good teams, but I love the vibe of our group right now. I thought we ended well, we had a good off-season and I like the energy. I believe we're going to absolutely compete."
There are some big questions in the bullpen, the loss of catcher Willson Contreras is major and third base could be a concern.
