Wednesday, Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic posted this long article detailing the layoffs that have “decimated” (their word) the Cubs organization, on both the baseball and business sides.
The reason you didn’t see anything from me yesterday on this topic was that I read, and re-read, and re-read the article thinking about all this and what I might want to say about it.
Before I get to that, I want to single out two people mentioned in the article who were always kind and helpful to me: Carl Rice and Peter Chase.
