Jed Hoyer's Contract Length With Cubs Revealed

Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer has been with the organization for a long time. 

Hoyer got his start in baseball with the Boston Red Sox. He worked as the assistant to the general manager in Boston and was eventually hired by the San Diego Padres as their general manager after the 2009 season. 

The New Hampshire native spent two seasons as San Diego’s general manager before becoming the general manager of the Cubs in 2011. Since then, Hoyer has been in this organization for more than 15 years. 

He served as the general manager of the Cubs until Theo Epstein stepped down from his role as president of baseball operations. Chicago then named him president of baseball operations in November of 2020. 

Hoyer immediately received a five-year deal once named as the new president of baseball operations. That contract was set to expire after the 2025 season, and it was unclear whether the Cubs would want him back in that role. 

The Cubs eventually did give Hoyer a new contract in the middle of last year. Although the terms and conditions of that new contract were not revealed, Hoyer was given some job security in the middle of the 2025 season. He signed the contract on July 29, 2025. 

Almost 16 months later, more was revealed about the contract extension that Hoyer signed during the 2025 campaign. Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reported earlier this week that Hoyer’s extension was for five years. 

Since his contract was set to expire after the 2025 season, his new multi-year contract extension means that Hoyer will be the Cubs president of baseball operations through the 2030 season. 

Hoyer will have his hands full this offseason as the top person in charge. 

The Cubs have a ton of free agents to worry about this winter. Players like Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki, Clay Holmes, Matthew Boyd, Shota Imanaga, Carson Kelly, David Peterson, and Michael Conforto could all depart in free agency. 

That means Hoyer has to do his best to replace those impactful players on both the hitting and pitching sides. It won’t be easy to replace those players, especially since the Cubs are reportedly already out on Tarik Skubal and Michael King. 

However, Hoyer has had some big free-agent hits in recent offseasons. The team signed Brad Keller to a Minor League contract before the 2025 season and claimed Ryan Rolison off waivers last offseason.
