How do the Cubs have more of a sense of urgency? The Cubs just had a crap season, and have no expectations for next season. The Red Sox just crapped the bed with what was suppose to be an all time great team. The Cubs have an interim GM, and a manager. The Red Sox have two GMs each with one foot in the door and one foot out, and no manager. Sure it would be nice for the Cubs to get moving, but they can afford to wait more than the Sox IMO.
