Well, that's because Theo controls everything and Jed seemingly just gets him his coffee.

I never even saw anything talked about with Jed's season ending press conference. Did he even do one?

That is how the Cubs fans and the media treat him. It's never about what Jed is doing. It is about what Theo is doing, or sometimes, they say "Theo and Jed".

I doubt there are many decisions that Theo and Jed disagree on that Jed ends up winning out on.

I doubt Hoyer is making any moves without running them by Theo; Theo sets the direction of the team and Hoyer probably does the day to day work (fielding calls, dealing with agents, etc.). From what Williams recently said, the same general structure seems to apply with the White Sox. Hahn presents his plan/vision to Williams and he either agrees/disagrees.

I think the White Sox organization is probably handled in a similar way. People are upset with Williams because the major league team isn't winning and the minor league team doesn't have enough talent and there is a perception that he is much more involved in the day to day, which I'm not sure is known by anyone other than Williams/Hahn (who has denied this in the past). However, Theo is much more in the media than Williams has been, but if the Cubs rebuilding project wasn't working, there would be all kinds of criticism of Theo's plan etc. If you win, the criticism won't be there.

Makes sense on a few levels. I believe he is a local guy. And the Braves are basically trying to go cheap until their new stadium opens in 2017.

Rick Hahn says cutting ties with Tyler Flowers was done "as part of a plan." Corresponding roster move coming, he hopes in next few days.

So there is a "plan".......beside Dioner you have Michael McKenry and Wilin Rosario out there.

They already have LaRoche and Abreu for DH.


Alexei may be back for a cheaper price.
