I mean, Tom Ricketts kind of has to say he believes in the Chicago Cubs. After this disaster of an offseason, it’s not like he can hold court with the press down in Mesa and drop a, “Yeah, we have some serious holes and we just kind of have to roll the dice and hope for the best this year.”
So when Ricketts told the media on Monday that he believes his club is the best in the division, it didn’t really surprise me. He may very well be correct, given the amount of talent on this club.
