The Chicago Cubs introduced Carter Hawkins as the club’s General Manager during a press conference on Monday afternoon with Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer.

“What Jed and Theo started to put together roughly 10 years ago today, has raised the bar in Chicago for baseball to an incredibly high level," Hawkins said." “The challenge is, how do we raise it even further?”

Hawkins becomes the 16th General Manager in franchise history and hopefully, he will help lead the organization to the promised land as Theo Epstein and crew did in 2016.
