At some point in the next 2 1/2 weeks before the Aug. 1 trade deadline, the Chicago Cubs will commit to a buyer or seller direction with their roster.
The front office spent time during the four-day All-Star break discussing the criteria for the yet-to-be-determined parameters of when and what path the Cubs will take as the trade deadline moves closer. President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer doesn’t plan to reveal the specifics of what will go into the decision-making process or time frame to see on-field results.
“We’re trying to make decisions in the most educated fashion as possible, not using emotion and not using one day’s loss or one day’s win, and that’s most important thing,” Hoyer said before Friday’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox. “And like I said before, the simplest way to say it is that we do need to make up ground on first , we do need to make up ground on .500.”The second-half schedule begins favorably for the Cubs, who entered Friday at 42-47.
But it presents a great opportunity for the Cubs to get on a winning roll they desperately need if Hoyer is going to look to acquire help for manager David Ross and a veteran-heavy roster. Hoyer acknowledged the frustration that their first-half record wasn’t better despite a plus-26 run differential, the only team in the National League Central with a positive mark in that category.
