Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts vowed to provide the resources necessary for the Cubs front office to spend this offseason.
That near hour-long media session included asking Hoyer what a successful offseason will look like to him.
"I think last year we talked a lot about intelligent spending, and I think we’ll certainly look to do that again," Hoyer said."I want to build on the momentum that we created at the end of the year, but I know we have some holes to fill. "We'll be aggressive to try to fill those holes in the best way possible. I think we can definitely compete next year, and we also want to create something lasting and special."Why Tom Ricketts feels 'really great' about 58-81 Cubs
Ricketts thanked fans for their"unwavering spirit and support," in Tuesday's letter, adding the family"does not take [fans'] loyalty for granted nor our responsibility to be stewards of this beloved franchise." "There is positive momentum in our organization," Ricketts wrote."Jed Hoyer and his team are building an expansive core of young high-ceiling players while making investments in infrastructure and technology to help them reach their maximum potential."
