My thinking is that they share the whole outlook of the Cubs roster, with Theo making the final decision.

Outside of mutual disliking, what was the dynamic between Theo and Lucchino? That might be a good reference; that hierarchy, plus a kindred professional relationship.

Does this happen with other team Presidents? Is Hoyer ever going to get credit for doing anything or are people going to act like Theo is the GM and Hoyer is just an assistant?

I don’t really care….just curious about the dynamic of perception.

A Cubs signing just doesn’t feel right without one.

I changed it from GM to pres.

Theo’s title is President of Baseball Operations.
