Cubs president Jed Hoyer signed a five-year deal to replace Theo Epstein in 2020 .

Hoyer is entering a playoff-or-bust season after failing to take the Cubs to the postseason in his first four years as president.

Chairman Tom Ricketts has said the Cubs should be the “team to beat” in the National League Central .

Hoyer saved Ricketts tens of millions of dollars by holding the line in negotiations with three popular players from the championship team.

If Tucker can put up the kind of numbers expected, he could put the Cubs on his shoulders.

If not, Hoyer shouldn’t have to worry about finding another job, though he might have to return to a GM role.
