Cubs GM Jed Hoyer Answers Questions On Twitter And The Results Are Incredible

-

Opening Day is one week away and Chicago Cubs GM Jed Hoyer took some time Thursday morning to answer some questions from fans on Twitter.

To start off, Hoyer addressed the @JedHoyer_ Twitter account that is most definitely not Theo Epstein. Everyone’s always wondered who’s behind it mostly because of the two tweets that are found in the account.

And after the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, this lovely gem.

But no one wants to say who’s responsible because again, it most definitely IS NOT Theo Epstein.

All right. So, just another incentive to the Cubs winning the World Series again, we get find out who runs that account.

Now, on to some of the best questions and answers.

As we all know by now, the Cubs have had one of the best rebuilds in sports history and Hoyer was part of that. The front office did a great job early on in the rebuild acquiring talent from other teams, but for Hoyer his favorite trade is the one with the Baltimore Orioles in 2013.

We know how great Jake Arrieta was during his time with the Cubs, but let’s also give Pedro Strop some love, as he’s been one of the most reliable relievers since coming over to the North Side.

Hoyer also got into the evaluation of players using good old fashioned scouting and analytics.

Pretty simple there, need it all to be the well-oiled machine the Cubs have turned into. That being said, the Cubs do make it look easier than it is.

One of the aspects that makes the Cubs so good is that the front office is always having conversations about players. No yes men around Epstein and that’s completely fine.

And of course, you have love this mentality from Hoyer.

Jed’s also got some advice for those of you who want to pursue a career in baseball.

Now, to the questions we all wanted answers to.

In 2019, Theda will be trending as the most popular girl’s name in Chicago.

Anthony Rizzo has something to say about that.

Need a spot to go to in San Diego?

Hmmm, San Diego pizza?

Last, but certainly not least.

Thank you Jed Hoyer, for what will be a great meme to use throughout the 2018 season.

Hold on, still waiting for an answer to this question.
