To be fair, the Cubs situation in all facets has improved drastically under their ownership from where it was. Unfortunately where it was an incredibly low bar.

They should've earned a lifetime pass for giving us 2016. Then we slowly discovered just how awful Joe, Todd, and Pete are. Then the Sinclair deal. Then they decided to cry poor instead of pushing all their chips into the center of the table while the championship window was still open. Then the sports book. And now they're chasing an EPL team after all of that shit.
That's how you piss away a lifetime of goodwill in 5 short years.</blockquote>
As mentioned, the family is a very special group
Maybe theyll grow tired of the Cubs toy and sell it off at a ridiculous profit but suck the ability to compete from the new owners for a decade or so due to ridiculous debt obligations/imposed restrictions. Unfortunately, depending on new owners that may be a best case scenario
