As of today Jim hendry stepping down as GM of Chicago Cubs.

 

First and foremost we didn't win enough games.

 

Team performance not where it should be.

 

Secondary goal is to win world series and we need fresh approach.

 

Secondary goal? Whats the primary goal? Make a lot of money off of you idiots?

Sorry, poor transcribing on my part. Not secondary goal. Secondarily, it is our goal to win.

likelihood of making a mistake if they made changes at the beginning was a lot higher than it is after a couple of years

Hendry doing his best Mike Schmidt impersonation at his press conference.

[jersey cubs fan]

Tim and Oneiri A+ players in this business, most respect as I possibly could.

 

 

 

Can strongly recommend giving opinions to new GM of who is most valuable, but ultimately the GM has to make decision for themselves and it's not the owners place to suggest that.

[Prizefight]

Sounds like he all but said that Quade is likely gone and he wants Wilken to stay.

[jersey cubs fan]

Stupid Crane Kenney question that Ricketts gave obvious answer that idiots need to hear repeatedly.

 

 

he runs the business, the GM runs the baseball team. Business is going well.

[UMFan83]

A big f you to all the people wanting to judge Ricketts prematurely.

[jersey cubs fan]

Tom's old fashioned car horn ringer is going off.

[Rob]

Petition to unban Jeff H for today.

[BeerHere]

Any word on whether Wilken stays? Fleita too? I would be happy if Fleita is gone but I would like Wilken to stay.

This. Between this and the amateur side changes, he's looking pretty golden to me right about now.

[jersey cubs fan]

In the end, the final say for huge contract comes back to owner because it's a big decision. But it is the GMs job.

 

 

Is Randy Bush a candidate?

 

We are not going to look at internal candidates.

[jersey cubs fan]

Were Jim's hands tied at deadline?

 

No, he hustled to try and make a deal, but nothing came out of it.
