I kinda saw it coming. With only one year left and he didn't want to sign a new contract. Time to move on

Thanks.

2016 was great.


Glad I got to see a title.

yep, yet I’m sure there will be some on here that celebrate his departure. Guess they forgot what it was like being a cubs fan pre Theo. spoiled we have become!

Fuckin’ Ricketts.
Money grab.

I don't believe so. The Mets just unloaded their whole front office and I'm reading that Theo is friends with the Met's new owner Steve Cohen....I wouldn't be surprised if there is something up there.

There are a lot of Cub fans on here that weren't Cub fans before Theo......

That makes sense. Winning with the Red Sox, Cubs, and Mets would be insane.

Umm, hey @zack54attack, @MarylandBear111 already made a thread on this.

Sadly, Pops did not. 2016 will always be with me though.

Good spot for him. New owner who will spend lots of dough.

He was up there with Harry Caray soaking it in.

Damn it. I wanted to break news man.


Sorry

theo is no dummy...he always seems to end up where the resources and desire is. Pretty smart move on his part...he’s kinda like the Phil Jackson of baseball management

Grateful for 2016, though my mother passed that September. Wish him well wherever he lands. Maybe break the drought in Cleveland.

Kinda forecasts a rebuild and kinda shows that the Rickettes aren't going to spend more money.
Will be forever grateful for 2016 but wish the train could have lasted longer and wish the team could have formed into a dynasty like the Dodgers are now (they've gone through their share of troubles but they've been to the finals the last 3-4 years).

Ya seems to ring true. They did a piece on non tender cases.

Kris Bryant, Cubs ($18.6MM)
Kyle Schwarber, Cubs ($7.9MM)
Albert Almora, Cubs ($1.575MM)
Jose Martinez, Cubs ($2.1MM)
Colin Rea, Cubs ($1.0MM)
Dan Winkler, Cubs ($900K)
Kyle Ryan, Cubs ($1.2MM)

Maybe the writing was on the wall and a major cut was in the works and Theo didn't want to be the guy taking the heat.
