Cubs Executive and MLB Reporter Clash Over Shohei Ohtani Report
Chicago Cubs executive Jed Hoyer confronted MLB reporter Bob Nightengale over his claim that the Cubs were out of the race for Shohei Ohtani. Hoyer was unhappy with Nightengale's use of high-level sources and the potential damage it could cause to the team's negotiations. The Cubs had been considered contenders for Ohtani, but Nightengale's report suggested they were no longer in the running. Hoyer dismissed the reports and emphasized that he would not discuss ongoing discussions or meetings regarding free agents.
