I agree that the Cubs shouldn't be in a perpetual rebuild/blowup cycle. That's what the Marlins do. But saying it's because of the fans' expectations is fucking stupid and it's such a lame and tired narrative. It's actually exhausting to read that kind of shit.
He makes some valid points. But he also glossed over the fact that the 2016 World Series wasn't just that season. The Cubs had their best stretch of baseball any of us have ever seen from 2015-2020. It wasn't just 2016. The Cardinals do win more consistently, but in this current "super team" era, I don't think their strategy is going to lead to many World Series wins.
Anyway. We sucks.
