On the weekend of the annual Cubs Convention that serves to get fans excited for the upcoming season, Tom Ricketts did a good job of pouring cold water on any positive vibes that might have been building up.
Appearing on 670 The Score on Saturday, Ricketts pushed back about criticism of the team's perceived lack of spending by saying the Cubs don't have the "dollars" like the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and New York Mets when asked about pressure from fans to spend more on payroll.
"They think somehow we have all these dollars that the Dodgers have or the Mets have or the Yankees have and we just keep it," Ricketts said.
