Cubs President Jed Hoyer Faces Pressure After Another Playoff Miss

Hoyer expresses optimism but acknowledges the need for significant improvements following a fourth consecutive year without postseason play.

The Cubs finished the 2024 season with an 83-79 record, missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
Hoyer highlighted a two-month slump in May and June as a major reason for the team's struggles.
Craig Counsell, hired last November, will continue as manager despite the disappointing season.
Key offseason decisions include addressing Cody Bellinger's potential opt-out and bolstering the bullpen.
Hoyer's contract expires after the 2025 season, adding urgency to the team's need for improvement.
