Tom Ricketts on Extending Jed Hoyer, Kyle Tucker, and the Trade Deadline ...Middle East

More Trade Deadline and post-Trade Deadline spillover content to share in case you missed it. Particularly important, in this case, because Chicago Cubs Owner and Chairman Tom Ricketts so rarely speaks out otherwise.

Some of his comments on the extension he gave team baseball president Jed Hoyer, the extension we all hope he’ll give to Kyle Tucker, and on the Trade Deadline that has been met with mixed reviews:

“Jed’s done a really nice job over the last few years in increasing our overall organizational health,” Ricketts told the Tribune. “It’s not just the wins on the field. It’s the quality of our minor-leaguers. It’s the quality of our draft the last handful of years. He and his team are committed to getting better every day, and I just feel confident he’s the right guy to take us forward.” “We went into the season thinking about an extension,” Ricketts told the Sun-Times. “The team was playing well enough that Jed had really proven that he’d put a good ballclub on the field. And I’ve always been comfortable with Jed. I think he makes good baseball decisions, and he’s really built a good organization. The organization’s gotten healthier over the years. The minor leagues, the draft has been more effective over the last few years. And, of course, we’re playing well at the major-league level. So it really felt like it was time to extend Jed.” “I think we had a good Trade Deadline,” Ricketts told the Sun-Times. “We have a really good team, we added to it, and I think it’s going to be a great couple of months. When you look at the guys that are coming in through trades, I look at the guys that are coming off the injured list, I think we’re going to really be in good shape for rest of season [and] into the postseason …. It’s really not a matter of, ‘Are you aggressive or not aggressive?’ It’s, ‘What’s available and what’s the cost?’ …. If something what you might call aggressive would have fit, he would have done it. But nothing really fit for us.” “l admit it’s been a theme of the summer for the fans here,” a smiling Ricketts told the Tribune of fans expressing their hopes for a Kyle Tucker extension. “But we’ll just pick up that at the end of the season. Kyle’s had a solid season and we’ve had a great year thus far. We’ve got some more guys coming in (from the trade deadline) to help us for the rest of the year, and I’m just really excited about the next two months.” A punt. But good to know that Ricketts is consistently hearing from the fans on it.

More or less what you’d expect to hear from Tom Ricketts on the three topics. Ricketts declined to specify how long Jed Hoyer’s new deal is for, but I’ll speculate that it’s for three years, to line up with Craig Counsell’s current contract.
