CHICAGO — The uncertainty surrounding president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer’s future with the Chicago Cubs has been eliminated.

Hoyer and the Cubs agreed to a multiyear contract extension Monday, the team announced. He was in the final year of his contract.

Hoyer, 51, has been in the role since November 2020, when he was promoted to take over from the departing Theo Epstein. Now in his 14th season with the Cubs, Hoyer joined the organization as general manager in November 2011 to reshape the franchise alongside Epstein, ultimately rebuilding the roster into a World Series champion.

“I’m so grateful for the Ricketts family’s trust and support for 14 years,” Hoyer said in a statement. “The Cubs are a special organization with an amazing fan base. I’m excited to keep building on the momentum we have and to work with a terrific baseball operations staff to consistently deliver a championship-caliber team for this great city.”

“Jed and his baseball operations staff have built a healthy player development organization and put an exciting, playoff contending team on the field,” chairman Tom Ricketts said in a statement. “We are looking forward to the rest of the season and to working with Jed for years to come.”

The Cubs entered Monday’s series opener in Milwaukee tied with the Brewers at the top of the division, both owning the best record in the National League and second-best in baseball. A dynamic offense has helped the Cubs overcome injuries to their rotation, putting up the second-most runs in the majors, behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, and posting a +116 run differential to lead all teams.
