I used to go back and forth on who to blame, the front office or ownership, and you know what I'm realizing? They both suck.
Ricketts is a cheap piece of trash whose only goal is to make sure Daddy is happy and that his real estate empire around the park is churning money. As long as those two things are fine the only pressure he will get is from the fans and he obviously doesn't care about that.
Jed is Theo's butt buddy who climbed Theo's success to a job he doesn't deserve. You have more resources than any team in your division by a mile yet the Cubs havnt made the playoffs since covid, it's a disgrace. I don't think Ricketts gives him as many resources as he possibly could but he's given him enough to field better squads than what we have seen the past 3 seasons. Oh and evidently he has no damn clue on how to build a bullpen.
