Jed Hoyer (born December 7, 1973) is an American sports executive who is the president of baseball operations of the Chicago Cubs.

Other members of the "gang" were Ben Cherington, Bill Lajoie, and Craig Shipley,[13] a group which completed trades for, among others, Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell, Mark Loretta, and Andy Marte.

Shortly after the winter meetings were completed in early December, Hoyer and Cherington were promoted to co-general managers, where they remained until Epstein returned to his original position on January 19, 2006, after a 10-week hiatus.

Beginning in 2008, he became the first "Resident Expert" for the Fenway neighborhood on Povo.com, a local wiki whose platform lets one share their insider's knowledge of Boston.

Following the 2007 season, Hoyer interviewed to become general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, a job that went to Neal Huntington of the Cleveland Indians organization.

[16][17] Perhaps his best known deal as GM of the Padres was when he sent 1B Adrián González to the Red Sox in exchange for RHP Casey Kelly, OF Reymond Fuentes, utility man Eric Patterson, and 1B Anthony Rizzo.
