In a letter addressed to Cubs fans, chairman Tom Ricketts expressed remorse that the Cubs had again failed to reach the playoffs, but he didn’t offer specifics on how the club would remedy that disappointment moving forward.
“There is no way to sugarcoat it – this is not where we planned to finish the season,” he said in the letter, which was sent Friday morning via email to Cubs fans, including season ticket holders and those who have opted in to receiving emails from the team.
