From crazy rumor guy.

"Current Padres GM Jed Hoyer is being considered by the Cubs and Epstein, tweets SI's Jon Heyman.  In that scenario, Josh Byrnes would become the Padres' GM.  Heyman notes that the Cubs are also looking at Padres executives Byrnes and Jason McLeod for themselves, should Hoyer stay.  All the executives were once members of the Boston front office with Epstein."

They are going to hire TWO baseball guys?  Terrible, terrible idea.

Surprise!  I have no idea what's going on...I thought Epstein was going to be the GM.  What is this Hoyer guy going to do?


No, Epstein is going to have a swank new title like President, Grand Poobah or Supreme Leader.

And he's bringing Jed Hoyer? Awful, awful that there will be two baseball guys instead of one.

Ah, it's time for another installment of Revisionist History with Chuck!

You see guys, Chuck didn't say that hiring one baseball guy would be a failure.

It was all of us fucking mindreaders who said that hiring two baseball guys was a bad idea.

Was anyone saying it would be an awful idea to have two smart baseball guys?

Of course not. What idiot would ever say that?

Saying the Cubs don't need two "baseball guys" at the top isn't the same thing as saying it would be an awful idea.

Exactly. I'm sure Ricketts wants to have as many smart "baseball guys" in the front office as possible. But naturally, Chuck chose to spin it as Ricketts saying he would prefer to NOT have it that way.
