2025 Cubs

[funkster]

"We plan on inviting him to the 2025 Cubs Convention..."

This whole thing feels like a PR stunt more than anything.

"Look, we may be greedy billionaires, but we still know how to care, forgive, yadda, yadda...hey, while we have your attention, can we interest you in tickets to the Cubs Convention?"

Oh, piss off.

Yeah, I'm guessing that Sammy wants to unlock opportunities to Cubs sponsored autograph signings and the like, and Tom sees the same opportunities and PR buzz. When they bought the team there was speculation about Sammy, and if I recall correctly, Tom said he'd need to apologize first. I guess this is that. It feels weird to me, I don't recall MM and Bonds having to do similar things, not sure why Sosa is different if it's not about clubhouse issues and just steroids. And I don't think he should be nicked for those issues either at this point, I'm sure a lot of guys in baseball were similar and their teams didn't demand apologies to be part of their canonized lore.

This. He wants the economic opportunities it brings.
