Cubs Promote Tyler Zombro To Oversee Pitching Pipeline

Cubs promoted Zombro after the Nationals tried to hire him as pitching coach. Instead of an interview, the Cubs offered him the VP of pitching role, widening his say in acquisitions, coaching, scouting, and development. Zombro helped land Keller and comes from Tread Athletics. With Otero to Breslow, he’ll tweak draft models with Kantrovitz beyond Wiggins in the farm system.
