Cubs to Introduce Jed Hoyer and Jason McLeod

Jed Hoyer and Jason McLeod officially will be welcomed to Wrigley Field on Tuesday.

Newly minted president of baseball operations Theo Epstein will introduce Hoyer as the Cubs new executive vice president/ general manager and McLeod as senior vice president/ scouting and player development.

In a joint statement issued Thursday, the Padres announced Hoyer and McLeod would leave San Diego to accept positions with the Cubs.

The press conference takes place at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the United Club at Wrigley Field.

When Epstein was introduced last week, he told reporters that winning a World Series would take the efforts of fans, players and fans. He said changes are coming for the Cubs staff and he wants to focus on scouting, player development and a change in the front office to create success.

Hoyer and McLeod are expected to lead those efforts.
