\n

Four days after the Chicago Cubs\u2019 season ended in the National League Division Series, team President Jed Hoyer reflected.<\/p>\n

Hoyer, during his annual end-of-season news conference Wednesday at Wrigley Field, described how proud he felt of the team with its consistency, effort and connection to the fans while also acknowledging that the Cubs\u2019 loss in the decisive Game 5 in the NLDS to the Milwaukee Brewers still stings.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou spend time thinking about plays and pitches and at-bats, and I think that whenever you get into the playoffs, you start moving forward and you have elimination games, that\u2019s the kind of natural emotion is to think about the last thing that happened,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cAnd obviously that was disappointing, and so we didn\u2019t reach all of our goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a real foundation to keep building from, so obviously I\u2019m disappointed now. It\u2019d be impossible to play that elimination game and how close the margins are, it\u2019d be impossible to not have disappointment from falling short of the ultimate goal. But I am really proud of this group and proud of our season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire coaching staff has been asked to return for 2026, though Hoyer acknowledged they might have openings to fill if any coaches get any opportunity to be promoted by another organization. Bench coach Ryan Flaherty reportedly is being considered for managerial openings in San Diego and Baltimore.<\/p>\n

As the organization digests the 92-win season and first division series appearance since 2017, Hoyer and the Cubs front office know they must build off this year and not let it be a one-off playoff appearance. The steps they take to ensure that happens will become more clear in the ensuing weeks as their offseason roster-building plans start to come into focus.<\/p>\n

With the Cubs shifting into offseason mode, here are four takeaways from Hoyer\u2019s nearly hourlong news conference.<\/p>\n

1. With Kyle Tucker\u2019s uncertain Cubs future, replacing production a must<\/h4>\n

Hoyer never likes to get into the contract talks, especially in regards to an impending free agent. But with Tucker set to go through the free-agent process this offseason, Hoyer said the team will talk with Tucker\u2019s agency and reiterated: \u201cEveryone can use a guy like Kyle Tucker. Everyone gets better by having a player like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think when we were at our best, Kyle was at his best and vice versa, there\u2019s no question he had a huge impact on his team,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cObviously he had dealt with some injuries and struggled a bit in the second half. But when we take the totality of the season, he had a huge impact, as we hoped he would.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether the Cubs have a sense of what Tucker will be looking for during the free-agent process and, more broadly, for the rest of his career, Hoyer deflected and noted how Tucker enjoyed playing in Chicago and the experience of playing at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle has a big decision, he\u2019s earned the right to not only be a free agent but to be a coveted free agent,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cAnd so I would expect that they\u2019ll play their cards kind of close to the vest, but I know he had a good experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoyer didn\u2019t want to delve specifically into the approach the Cubs must take to replace Tucker if he does not return, instead pointing more broadly to needing to figure out how to fill the offensive void.<\/p>\n

Column: 6 options for President Jed Hoyer as he tries to build on the Chicago Cubs\u2019 2025 success<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no question that if you don\u2019t retain a player of his caliber, then we have to replace those wins and that WAR in some other ways, and I think that\u2019s something we\u2019ll be really focused on,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t how you do that. It can take many different shapes and forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Cubs choose to take a potentially more risky approach of plugging in younger upside bats such as Moises Ballesteros and Owen Caissie at DH and right field, respectively, to mix in with Seiya Suzuki, it invites more unknowns into what the offense could look like in 2026 versus what they expected to see by adding Tucker and his proven approach and slug to the lineup this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to have good young players, those are the guys that have real upside that can surprise you and have great years, even beyond projections, and so I consider Moises and Owen in that group,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cI think their futures are really bright.<\/p>\n

2. Cubs will explore extensions while next year could be last run for this core<\/h4>\n

If Hoyer has his way, nothing will get out about any contract-extension talks the Cubs have this offseason, unlike what occurred earlier in the season with the team and All-Star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.<\/p>\n

Hoyer confirmed the Cubs plan to have conversations with players they would love to keep long term. Although Hoyer didn\u2019t mention any players by name, Crow-Armstrong, first baseman Matt Busch and rookie right-hander Cade Horton make the most sense among their pre-arbitration-eligible players.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy hope and expectation is that we\u2019ll have extension talks with a number of our players this offseason, my hope and expectations are you never find out about it, that\u2019s kind of what I would say,\u201d Hoyer said with a grin. \u201cWe have clean books going forward, we have good players, and we\u2019ll have those conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cubs currently have approximately only $31.5 million in guaranteed money on their 2027 payroll: Dansby Swanson\u2019s $28 million and buyout figures for catcher Carson Kelly and left-hander Matthew Boyd if their \u201927 options are declined. That payroll figure does not include players who will be arbitration-eligible, such as Busch and Crow-Armstrong. But it highlights the vast financial flexibility the Cubs will possess after next season.<\/p>\n

And that is not a coincidence. Most of the Cubs\u2019 multiyear contracts were aligned to end after the 2026 season when Major League Baseball\u2019s collective bargaining agreement also expires. The long-term unknowns that come with the lack of a CBA for 2027 and beyond creates some unknowns on how the Cubs will approach giving multiyear deals in free agency this offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we get closer to the end of the CBA, that conversation probably gets louder and louder,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cBut the truth of the matter is, we don\u2019t know what the future holds in that regard, and certainly those decisions are going to happen well above me, and those conversations will happen for a long time. So I think you can pay attention to it. It\u2019s something that you have to consider. But also we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen, and there\u2019s real uncertainty there for us and for 29 other teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given that reality, 2026 is setting up to be the last run with this core group: Ian Happ, Nico Hoerner, Suzuki and Jameson Taillon all will be free agents after next season.<\/p>\n

3. Hoyer praises manager Craig Counsell\u2019s \u2018terrific\u2019 year<\/h4>\n

Year 2 under Counsell saw the Cubs return to the postseason for the first time since 2020 and make their deepest run since 2017. Although they still fell short of winning a division title, something they haven\u2019t done in a full season in eight years, Hoyer commended Counsell\u2019s performance, calling it a terrific year.<\/p>\n

Hoyer was particularly pleased with how Counsell deployed the bullpen. Multiple relievers expressed gratitude during exit interviews for the way Counsell cared about their workloads and found them the right pocket of matchups.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did a really good job not pushing those guys too hard, and that\u2019s a difficult thing to do,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cWe play a lot of close games, we\u2019re in a lot of games and whenever I would look during the course of the year, we\u2019d have no one in the top 20 in appearances in baseball. So he didn\u2019t push those guys too hard, and I think that takes real experience to know the length of season. You\u2019re trying to win every game, you\u2019re not trying to win every game at all costs. And that\u2019s a really difficult thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cubs will be challenged to replicate such a dominant year by a bullpen that carried them during stretches of the offense\u2019s second-half inconsistency and a banged-up rotation. Three of their top high-leverage relievers \u2014 Drew Pomeranz, Brad Keller and Caleb Thielbar, who combined for a 2.28 ERA in 192 appearances over 177 1\/3 innings \u2014 are all free agents.<\/p>\n

4. Unclear whether payroll will increase or decrease for 2026<\/h4>\n

The Cubs payroll ranked 11th in the majors this year \u2014 they spent approximately $227 million on the roster.<\/p>\n

Whether Hoyer and the front office will be operating with a similar budget isn\u2019t clear. He didn\u2019t want to speculate since the Cubs haven\u2019t held those meetings yet in which ownership guides the direction the team takes on that front.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll sit down over the next two or three weeks and go through that, but, yeah, I\u2019m confident that we\u2019re going to have enough money to field a good team,\u201d Hoyer said. \u201cThat\u2019s the simplest thing I\u2019ll say. But as far as details, I don\u2019t know yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
