Cubs chairman says team's performance convinced him extending Hoyer's contract was right thing to do
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts came into the season thinking about extending president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer's contract. The team's performance convinced him it was the right thing to do. 'We went into the season thinking about an extension,' Ricketts said Friday. "I think the team was playing well enough that Jed had really proven he put a good ballclub on the field. I've always been comfortable with Jed. He makes good baseball decisions, and he's really built a good organization.' The Cubs agreed to a multiyear extension with the 51-year-old Hoyer on Monday. His contract was set to expire at the end of this season, his 14th with the Cubs. Hoyer was hired as general manager in 2011 and replaced Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations following the 2020 season. Led by breakout All-Star Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago was second in the NL Central and a game behind Milwaukee at 63-45 entering Friday's matchup against the Baltimore Orioles. It lost two of three at Milwaukee this week. The Cubs added depth to their lineup and pitching staff before the trade deadline. They acquired utility player Willi Castro from the rebuilding Minnesota Twins and veteran left-hander Taylor Rogers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. They also got right-handers Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals and Andrew Kittredge from Baltimore. 'I think the way he's methodically gone about developing the right players and bringing them up, looking for the right guys to add, being thoughtful about who he signs," Ricketts said. 'I think all those things have added up. He's had a good first four years. And then of course going into this season, when we got off to a great start, that just spoke to his decision-making and his judgment, and so we were confident a few weeks ago that an extension was the right thing to do.' ___ AP MLB:

Jobs Shock Sends Markets Spinning -- Is a Fed Rate Cut Now Inevitable?
U.S. job growth just hit its weakest pace since the pandemic, and markets are paying attention. July payrolls rose by only 73,000well below the 104,000 consensuswhile May and June figures were revised down by nearly 260,000 jobs. That brings the three-month average to a meager 35,000. Unemployment stayed at 4.2%, but the participation rate dropped to 62.2%, a near three-year low. Some economists point to President Donald Trump's immigration clampdown as a contributing factor to declining labor supply. Federal job cutsnow in their sixth monthare also weighing on local economies, particularly in regions dependent on government funding. Investors are now recalibrating. The S&P 500 (SPY) opened lower, Treasury yields fell, and the dollar softened as bets on a September Fed rate cut gained momentum. Despite Chair Jerome Powell's recent comments calling the labor market solid, the latest data suggests otherwise. Wage growth came in at 0.3% month-over-month, but broader indicatorslike the rise in long-term unemployment and a sharp jump in joblessness among Black Americanspoint to growing stress. Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide, noted that the cracks in the labor market have widened substantially, reinforcing the case made by Fed dissenters who argued for a rate cut this week. Beneath the surface, sector-level pain is spreading. Manufacturing, government, and professional services all lost jobs in July. A partial rebound in private payrolls was driven mainly by gains in healthcare and social assistance. Meanwhile, AI-related disruption is fueling layoffs in tech. Yet job openings remain elevated, and initial jobless claims have dropped, signaling that some firms are still reluctant to let go of workers. According to Bloomberg Economics, the bigger issue now may be that labor demand is falling faster than supply. That dynamic, combined with the broader slowdown and fresh political pressure from Trump, could push the Fed closer to action. September just got a lot more interesting.
