“It’s clearly a budget. It’s got lots of numbers in it.” – George W. Bush
I usually don’t do the Sunday columns until after football season, but the only trainwreck bigger than the Cubs right now is the Bears, so at least baseball gives us something fun to discuss. In fact, the North Side professional baseballers are giving us plenty these days, which serves as great fodder for wholesome debate. And, what the heck, tonight is the official kickoff of this year’s virtual Winter Meetings.
Nobody knows what’s going to happen, but we should know by the end of the week which teams are spending and which are slashing baseball budgets.
