No, because the underlying non-confirmed rumor is other than Dansby’s contract there are no contracts that are longer than 2026, because of the impending lockout and Ricketts refuses to spend money when there is going to be a labor stoppage in 2027.
Of course not. Then there would be less money to donate to the RNC and we can’t have kids getting food at school! Some things are more important than baseball
🤣🤣🤣 … are you serious??? They only care about us coming to Wrigley and taking our money. Not actingt like a major market team and putting that money towards the team is the least of their concerns. They want to win cheap like the Brewers. Ricketts are a joke.
Ricketts isn’t going to move his pen until there is a new CBA.
Depends, did the Cubs change owners?
If not I wouldn’t expect more than the bare minimum, Ricketts is probably looking to cut payroll rather than spend.
And pass up another yacht for Tommy? yeah right
Can you provide a link instead of a ChatGPT screenshot?
Best I can do is a second draftkings bar along the left side of wrigley
How do you expect them to spend money when they’re just trying to break even? Come on man, read the room.
Could, should, won’t.
Lower the goddamn beer prices
Not with a strike likely.
Why? Less money that Tom would get to keep?!?!
Nope
Cease, Scherzer and Schwarbs please!
Ahh, back to offseason doomer posts.
We can’t forget the Cubs are just one arm of a real estate empire.
“Biblical losses”
I think most teams are waiting until after the 2026 season for big deals at this point.
We’re never going to spend money. Stop fluffing yourself into thinking we will. This is a business investment to the Ricketts. We got our WS, now they’ll collect until they’re dead.
That does not look like a reputable source for Cubs financial data. The article where that blurb is mentioned doesn’t have an author or sourced information. So we can’t use this. Theyll spend some money this offseason. Dont know how much but the 40 man is about to lose a lot
No we need to build something else that’s not needed down the street (idk if there is but it’s the Cubs so 💁🏽)
Don’t care if this is accurate or not. I can’t take anyone seriously who’s source is an AI summary.
No can do. Cubs are experiencing biblical losses /s
What motivation do they have to spend more? Ricketts already got their ring in ’16, they sell out nearly every game, charge $16 for a beer, and own all the real estate surrounding the stadium.
Best I can do is a platoon OF and a middle of the rotation starter with some injury history.
Their gonna spend some money. The books may be pretty clean post 2026 lockout but there’s going to be a lot of talent to replace. Hoerner, Happ, Boyd, Taillon, Suzuki, along with the revolving bullpen.
I don’t see Hoyer doing that in one offseason especially with a lockout likely to impact it. No I expect quite a few holes to be taken care of. Hopefully a Hoerner extension for sure.
Well yeah. Were one of the highest spending teams in baseball. Comes with having owners willing to put up money.
Should be taken with a grain of salt as this is google’s AI writing it and not an actual news source
Nope. They will use the lockout (that they want to happen) as an excuse
Nope.
But the losses…
Nope and ticket/concession prices will continue to go up.
It’s called rebuilding. I’m here for it, why do you think the Dodgers have been 2-2 on World Series the past two years, they saved and then splurged. They’ll be good for years too, hopefully we’re saving to do the same. The Dodgers, hate them so much, but they’ve also been the smartest team in this sense for the last 5-6 years
Expecting Cricketts to spend money on this team is fool’s gold. He simply not going to do it. He’s gonna stay below the luxury tax threshold.
Lmao. You’re in the top 10 spenders in the league, but sure, money is the problem.
I see you were born just today
Michael Conforto and Danny Jansen, take it or leave it.

Always could have, but we won’t,
