Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts had a long sit-down interview Thursday with beat reporters, including Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, who wrote up a long, detailed summary of what the Cubs owner talked about.
What caught my eye was this portion about the Wrigley Field renovations:
At a Sports Business Journal conference last month, Ricketts delivered this money quote about the Wrigley Field renovations: “We probably missed our budget by around 100 percent.”
Ricketts clarified that comment, saying it was “kind of in jest” and unrelated to the team’s quiet offseason.
