Whether youre ready to put a timetable on this Cubs transition period, team president Jed Hoyer isnt.
Many of the Cubs’ top prospects are in the lower levels of the minor leagues, including those they acquired at the 2021 deadline for Javy Báez and Anthony Rizzo: promising outfielders Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kevin Alcantara.
“We did trade for a lot of guys that were in the lower levels," Hoyer said."And a lot of people felt like because of that, ‘OK, they're signaling exactly when they're going to be competitive.’ Ever since the end of last season, Hoyer has repeatedly said the Cubs want to keep one eye on the present and one on the future.
For as much talent as the Cubs have added to their farm system, there’s no such thing as a can’t-miss prospect. It’s folly to assume all their promising minor leaguers will pan out.
