How do we all suppose Jed’s performance review went before he was extended?
I imagine Tom Ricketts said to him, “Jed, you haven’t achieved anything you set out to do”, to which Jed replied mischievously “didn’t I?” to create the impression that he’s been quietly pulling strings to build success for the Cubs.”
And Tom reply will reply “no really, you’ve don’t sweet horsefeathers all. You’re always on Marquee talking to Jon and Jim, you’re never on the phone to other teams…” and Jed will cut Tom off mid sentence with a glint in his eye and say “is that so?”
Boom. New multi-year extension.
