2024 Cubs

[rok]

Going to a charity investment conference next Tuesday, and Ricketts will be part of a sports investing panel/fireside chat. Guessing he won't share much info on next year's payroll.

Drag his ass, rok.

Still processing today's event. So Ricketts was extremely unimpressive, to be kind. His answer to the moderator's first question about when his family was going through the process of buying the team was just a bunch of financial drivel about recurring cash flows, extracting revenue from new sources, owning the real estate and the iconic brand. It took him 10 minutes, no exaggeration, before mentioning anything about loving the team and it being the only baseball franchise they would entertain owning. He honestly seemed detached and disinterested, an empty vessel. Not feeling so good about the franchise. What a giant tool.
