    They are heavily invested in real estate around the park and have transformed the neighborhood. They are not selling the Cubs. Wrigleyville is a money factory.

    Ok, 5-10 M isn’t going make or break the Cubs. And more to the point, winning is what matters. So saying some horsefeathers about Montgomery at 15 million vs Montgomery at 20 million is nonsense. If Jed thinks his performance is better than Assad or Wicks or JaMo then he should see what the cost is in terms of players. The money is irrelevant b/c it doesn’t matter.

    I went on tankathon.com and the bears are currently in the 7 spot. They should be in a good position to get at least three starters in the draft. There is no reason they can’t be competitive next season.

    What does it matter how much they are paying him? if he’s posting a 2 ERA or whatever else elite metric you want the Cubs will be winning. If he sucks they will be losing. There isn’t a lot of good pitching on the market or available. im not saying I want the cubs to trade for him, but the money doesn’t matter
  7. CubinNY
    I mean would it be better if he had an ERA of 4 if the Cubs were only paying him 10 million dollars?
  8. CubinNY
    Who the horsefeathers cares about how much money he is making? What difference does 5 million dollars make to the Cubs roster plans? How much he’s paid has little to do with his performance. The name of the game is winning.

    Montgomery is a good bounce-back candidate. He signed late, got pissed, etc. But I don't think he's what the Cubs are looking for although he is left handed.
  10. CubinNY
    Yes. They sold some amount to the guy who owns the South Bend team and a few others. If the media calls that "private equity, " they need to look up the term. I thought it was before 2020.

    Bears. Justin Fileds didn't look straight down to the ground when dropping back before he came to Chicago. Coaching matters. These guys are not finished products when they get to the pros.
  12. CubinNY
    Because he too wants to stay in California

    I remember a few years ago when Lions fans were begging the Ford family to sell the team. All it takes is the right people in place. But as many others have mentioned, how will they get the right people to get the right people because the people they have now are not right.

    They lie a lot. I mean, really a lot, like all the time. They had the third highest revenue and the 10th highest payroll for an approximate 54% profit margin. I imagine the margins are less for the Ricketts as they have a group of minority owners who own about 5% of the team. That does not include all their side projects and whatever else they own that we don't know about.

    The Bears look awful, but they likely look worse than the talent on the team due to coaching. Late in games, they appear to have no sense of urgency or at least don't have a system to get Williams a play quickly, get lined up, and go. You can see Williams is frustrated as I'm sure there are many guys. They are certainly an embarrassment to the fans and the city. One more game against the Packers (lol), and it will all be over. I don't think they can let Poles pick the coach, but you never know.
  16. CubinNY
    No. And the ones who would spend aren’t interested or wouldn’t pass muster. The Ricketts are awful humans. But they aren’t as bad as some owners. They should own the Royals or the Reds or some other franchise. Their philosophy is driven by the idea that the luxury tax level is enough money to spend on a team and sustainable development is the path to winning. They prefer to keep the rest of the money for themselves. I suppose I get it because they are splitting it 5 ways plus they have to give their investors a cut. But they are making money on the park environment that they are not sharing. As middle class people who are fans of team we cannot comprehend their lifestyle, appetites, and values.
  17. CubinNY
    Hate the game, not the player. I think there is almost half a billion dollars paid in luxury tax money that is going to the smaller market clubs. So yes, they can spend too. It’s naked greed and bad management that keeps teams from winning. Cubs most definitely included.

    Kyle isn’t correct. And I’m not sure if he’s Autistic or a garden variety horsefeathers. wanting garbage time numbers and then complaining that people are saying he’s getting garbage time numbers is, I don’t know, dumb? It doesn’t matter whether Williams is getting those numbers or not. then the fact that he separates himself from lesser beings is icing on the horsefeathers cake. Kyle says a lot of stuff that is binary and we don’t often live in a binary world. Then he calls it “vibes”. He has a vibe too.
  19. CubinNY
    Not that I’m doubting it, but it would be so horsefeathers stupid to trade away Cam Smith for one season of Tucker.

    Holy non sequitur, Batman

    The players will do a cap if there is a floor and equitable revenue sharing. It’s the owners who can’t agree on that because they (Reinsdorf and Ricketts must of all) are greedy horsefeathers bags of puss and horsefeathers.
  22. CubinNY
    They make enough money yearly that their grandchildren's grandchlidren will never need to lift a finger. It's all a pack of lies. If it's not it's because they overextended themselves in their side projects and are using the Cubs to pay down the debt. Or they are terrible at business. Or a combination of two and three. But seriously, it's one.

    It rings so hollow we will hear it for a year.

    PE probably means a Ricketts shell company.
