ooo ooo, I love these "reasonable doubt" posts that have nothing to do with anything. This entire discussion is based on the theory that the Cubs drastically cut their expected budget and are no longer going to spend on players this offseason, something that has been reported by dozens of people. I think it's all bunk, myself. Exactly, a theory. We'll see if it proves to be correct. None of us knows that answer, so let's see what happens. Like everyone else, I will be pissed if they don't spend money this offseason when they are in the middle of their window.
