I can understand his reluctance to sign another big name FA to a long term contract, but it is laugh out loud funny to pretend the cubs don't have any money left. He must think we are fucking stupid.

Well, he does not have the balls to say Theo has made some poor decisions so why keep dishing out the money when the park is full anyway.

Yep, because the team as currently constructed has absolutely no chance to win a title this year.

95 wins with injury year from a former MVP, personal tragedy to a team leader, misdiagnosed injuries, and the injury to two closers, along with the grueling schedule at the end of the season.

They should blow it up and hope to be competitive in 2021.
