If you were looking for the big reveal (read: a Nick Castellanos signing) coming out of Cubs Convention 2020, you were probably a little disappointed. Allow me to summarize the weekend, please:
- I thought Tom Ricketts was treated a little bit harsher than he should have been. He struggles at times to come across as a genuine individual, but I do think he truly wants the Cubs to compete for a championship every season and fully intends to provide the best MLB experience for the team’s fans. His methods of achieving both may not jibe with our suggestions and desire to spend his money, but after seeing him speak a few times this weekend, I believe that he has 100% faith in his front office and his ballclub.
