Ricketts On Cubs’ Outlook

By Jeff Todd | February 17, 2020 at 8:50pm CDT

Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts faced the press after a surprisingly quiet winter, proclaiming a “fresh start” and exuding optimism. MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian transcribed the session.

Ricketts made no question of the goal: to return to the top of the heap in the National League Central. And he left no doubt of his belief in the roster’s ability to do it, calling the Cubs “the best team in our division.”

The Theo Epstein-led baseball operations department — what Ricketts terms “the best front office in baseball” — has acknowledged that it anticipated more significant roster turnover. But that doesn’t change the assessment for the team’s owner. Ricketts says that “everyone should feel very strongly that we have all the right pieces in place to get us back to the top.”

Bolstering his optimism is the presence of new skipper Davis Ross. Ricketts says the new hire seems thus far to be “the right guy,” labeling Ross “a really dynamic, exciting new manager.”

Was there anything else to cover? Oh, right … payroll. Jokes aside, finances dominated the conversation.

Ricketts was asked directly whether the Competitive Balance Tax threshold formed the team’s spending limit this year. He acknowledged having a budget and strongly considering the impacts of the luxury line. But Ricketts also denied that they’re one and the same, explaining that luxury penalties “aren’t defining the decisions in the front office, but they’re always a consideration in the front office.” And he said it’s always possible the organization “might stretch the budget” if circumstances warrant.

There were plenty more stretches of discussion to the same essential effect. We might sum it up this way: the Cubs have spent what they can for now, but they might consider adding more (or, presumably, could trim) depending upon how things look come late July.

Broadly, Ricketts focused on — you guessed it — sustainable winning, explaining that the club carries a “strategy of trying to be as consistent as possible to make the playoffs as often as possible.” The amount of money spent is less important than the decisions made, he emphasized several times. Neither statement reveals much of substance.

The other big issue that was addressed was the long-term relationship with star infielders Kris Bryant and Javier Baez. As for the former, Ricketts spoke fondly, largely dismissed chatter about his trade availability without ruling it out, and generally tried to strike a positive tone on the heels of a grievance proceeding that went the team’s way. Will either or both be extended, even if it’d mean stretching the future budget? “That’s in Theo’s camp,” Ricketts said, before noting that the ownership group would “have to take a look at what that all would mean for us financially.”

    They just don’t have the best pitching staff in baseball. Cubs have virtually no chance at winning a WS this year with their current starters. We’ve all seen the hitting tank the past two years but even if they break out they’ll have to atleast trade for a pitcher.

      Worry about making the postseason first. Let’s just say the Cubs have made it a four team race. My guess is one team will probably pull away, two will win about 85-90 games and one will disappoint. And you never know about the Pirates. They look bad but they may stick around to be a thorn in some team’s side for a while.

        The Buccos are a wild card. Most years, they dominate one of the teams in the NL Central. Although they have no chance for the playoffs, they will help decide the NL Central champ.

    They’ve spent a ton over the last couple of years and will do so this year. If they can reset the luxury tax penalty this year and go past it again in 2021 while still playing winning baseball (like they have the last 5 years) I’ll be happy. So far the front office/ownership has done exactly what they promised.

      Which was win 1 championship but raise prices for tickets every year since 2015 (highest average ticket prices in all of mlb), raise prices for souvenirs, raise prices for Old Style beer and now try to make everyone pay more for the Jason Marquis sports network?

      Oh but they’re slashing prices a whopping 2.5% for 2020 because they didn’t make playoffs last year. That’s so kind of them. I like how Ricketts tries to say all the games will be on 1 channel now too. Ummk, so apparently none will ever be on Mlb network or ESPN? Is he a liar or does he think they’ll be that bad?

        Why are you associating former MLB pitcher Jason Marquis with the new Cubs Marquee Sports Network? Marquis last pitched for the team in 2008, hasn’t pitched in MLB since 2015 and was last scene throwing for Team Israel at the World Baseball Classic. Hopefully your comment wasn’t based on anti-Semitism stereotyping.

        Marquee Sports Network is a regional sports network that will begin broadcasting Chicago Cubs baseball on February 22. It is owned and operated in a joint venture by Sinclair Broadcast Group and the Cubs. It is a sister channel of Fox Sports Network.

        Marquee has announced the hiring of a number of former Cub players and other personalities to their broadcast team, most of whom will be analysts. They include Ryan Dempster, Mark DeRosa, Lou Piniella, Dan Plesac, Doug Glanville, Jason Hammel, Carlos Peña, Rick Sutcliffe and Mark Grace. I have yet to see Jason Marquis on this list.

          If I sensed the humor you detect I wouldn’t have questioned the comment. All I read was a vitriol complaining about the Cubs raising prices every year and the suggestion that owner Tom Ricketts was a liar. As a Cubs fan I can’t disagree with the first set of facts and I am also not the biggest fan of the Rickett’s ownership.

          That said, the team has also had the idea of their own network in the works for some time now as their previous joint venture with the White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks with Comcast/NBC Sports Chicago was nearing it’s conclusion. There was nothing funny about his comment and no reason to drag Jason Marquis name into the conversation.

          Perhaps ‘whosyourmomma would like to set the record straight. All I’m seeing is other commenters coming to his defense.

          Lol @ anti-Sapoznik. Look I was just poking fun at the name they chose for the network they are creating. Jason Marquis=Marquee was an average mlb starter and I could care less about his nationality, religion, zodiac sign, blood type, DNA profile, shoe size, love interests, hobbies, etc. So chillax with reading into things too much.

          How about you answer why Ricketts said something like, “we just want our fans to have one station for all the Cubs games and content.” I believe he said there were 7 channels before (which is an exaggeration). Here’s what shows on a google search for Marquee Sports Network…”replacing a triad of channels as the exclusive broadcaster of Cubs games not shown on national TV.”
          Is he lying or is he that foolish to think triad means 7 or that they never will play nationally televised games on like Fox or ESPN? And do they even sell Old Style at Wrigley still?

      One can always hope that Morrow is able to pitch and Kimbrel finds the strike zone (and misses bats). Wick looked last year. As did Ryan and Wieck. Chatwood was a good long man, maybe he’d stay there and give Mills a shot at the 5th rotation slot. .

      Their starting rotation isn’t that much better. Hendricks has never been more than just above-average, Lester is in decline, Darvish and Quintana are shadows of their former selves, and they have no decent options for the 5th starter or for any depth behind them. Just one significant injury to one of their top 4 guys could doom their season.

      Probably not. The Brewers got worse. The Cards got worse. The Reds got better but they finished 16 games out of first and 9 behind the Cubs so they’ve got some ground to make up. It’s not impossible, but the division is good. I am glad to see that you stopped spelling Cubs with a v now though.

          Probably not worth it because Chatwood can eat innings and because this is the last year of his deal. The Cubs are going to clear a ton of money off the books after the season. Chatwood, Quintana, Lester, and I think Descalso (sp?). They can trade Bryant in July if they’re really bad or want till next off season.

        Jung #55, Crouse #78, Solak, Walker, Vanasco, and Hearn is more than enough for the Cubs to trade Bryant to the Rangers. Rangers shouldn’t though.

        Could other teams offer a better package? Sure. But rangers have enough to get Bryant.

        Cubs and their fans need to wake up. If Cubs don’t trade Bryant this year they are in Mookie Betts situation- last year of control, everyone knows Cubs money issues (like red sox), and Bryant isn’t signing an extension with the Cubs (esp after the greivance issue).

    I hope the league stops there cheating also. The last home series against the Cardinals every time the Cards had a guy a on second base the cubs shortstop would get right behind the pitcher and jump up and down trying to distract the batter. It looked like a little league tactic but it was clearly against the rules. But the good guys prevailed like they should.

        Cubs won. That play started a 4 run rally to go ahead. I think Matt S was at bat and got to first on a dropped ball strikeout.

        MLB Rule 3.01 prohibits players from intentionally discoloring or damaging balls with foreign substances, and the penalty is an ejection and 10-game suspension.

        Molina wasn’t in violation of the rule. Simply having sandpaper, an emery board or some sticky agent on a player’s uniform or in his possession is only a violation for the pitcher.

      Have you ever seen Schwarber play defense? He’s better than most people think. I can say this to death. The talking heads started saying he was terrible because of 2 miss plays 5 years ago in the NLCS vs the mets. He’s had less than 20 errors in left field.

    If the Cubs are “the best team in the division,” it’s only by a small margin and only because every NL Central team is significantly flawed. The Pirates will probably finish in the cellar, while any of the other 4 teams could win the division with the right breaks. The Cubs have mediocre pitching, the Cardinals a mediocre offense, the Brewers a patchwork rotation and mediocre defense, and the Reds got a lot better but only compared to a lousy 4th place finish well below .500 last year. This should be a very interesting 4-way division race.

      I’m just going to say it, because I think it is safe to say this. The 1 championship in 100 year dynasty is over. Not even the most overrated and overpaid front office in baseball can fix it. For the amount of money the cubs spend annually on payroll for this team of future hall of famers. They should be ashamed. Bad signing after bad signing has handcuffed this team. Everyone of you cubs fans should be pissed because I guarantee, you give this payroll to any other team in the central besides the pirates and they would dominate for years and years. And spending $12 for and old style is madness

Yet it’s the best front office with horrible contracts worth hundreds of millions…what a joke..depleted the farm for a bunch of junk mostly. Maddon wasn’t the best.. he made a lot of mistakes with the bullpen especially.. but the bulk of mistakes by far was done by the front office.

    Kind hard to win a division when you’re down by six runs and your starter gets knocked out of the game by the 3rd inning every other game. The cvbs pitching is their weakness, but their fans think they’ll magically get turn the clock back to 2016.
