Cubs owner Tom Ricketts’ rhetoric is proving costly for his team this winter.

This is kinda getting old talking about baseball losing money in the midst of a pandemic that has torn the country apart, left many regular Joes without jobs and generally razed the psyche of the nation to a shell of its former self. And yet, there seem to be more financial dots to connect in this terrible offseason for the Cubs. Forgive me, but just know that I side with baseball owners on almost nothing.

So, we’re all familiar with the Tom Ricketts’ line from the early summer where he discussed how baseball was losing gobs of money hand over fist.
