Had I been presented with a series of Tom Ricketts’ most recent quotes sans context, I would have believed they’d simply been culled from previous interviews over the last few months. That’s what happens when you work from a carefully crafted series of talking points, which is how the Cubs chairman’s recent sit-down ($) with Patrick Mooney of The Athletic came off.
Ed. note: The quotes that follow represent only a very small portion of Mooney’s conversation and you should check the piece out in its entirety to ensure you’ve got the full scope of what Ricketts shared.
