MLB prefers to reward teams who get public money to complete stadiums/renovations. The Cubs took no public money and then spent 3+ years crying poor and fielding less competitive teams using the excuse (among others) that they took too much debt on. The Cubs will get one eventually but can't help feeling like they are being punished. Boob reports that the Cubs along with the Jays, Orioles and Braves are the leading candidates for 2025. I'd bet the Braves after losing the ASG previously through no fault of their own.
