Welcome to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor.
Michael Canter over at Cubs Insider is of the opinion that the Cubs’ current quandary is due to Jed Hoyer’s brand of fiscal conservatism and not Tom (or Joe) Ricketts. He makes the case in his ‘Rundown’, which combines Cubs and MLB focus and is usually a good read.
