We spend about the same amount of money as the Red Sox. The Red Sox are in a significantly tougher division, in a tougher league. Yet they are always better.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


Last year was the first year the Cubs spent money like the Red Sox on the MLB payrolls. In previous years the gap was as much as 50%.

Theo Epstein took the GM job about the same time as Hendry. Trust me, I don't think Theo is Joe Cool, but in their concurrent times as GM, he has the Red Sox in the playoffs almost every single year. And there's those 2 world championships. Yeah, that too.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

What you forget (or just fail to mention) is that not only are they outspending the Cubs (except last year) on the MLB payroll, but they far outspend the Cubs organizationally. They outspend on the draft, on development, and internationally. It isn't even close. The Red Sox spend on an annual basis far outweighs what the Cubs spend.

Nobody believes you. It may be true, but nobody believes you.



The Red Sox do a lot of things better than the Cubs. Spending money (more and better) is one of them.

If Cubs want to compete on the Red Sox/Yanks plane, then they need to raise the cost of tickets to match the Sawx payroll. Tickets are already very expensive. The Sawx generate more revenue than the Cubs do - and spend more of it. Now getting rid of the Trib may well help - depending on how much the Ricketts have to pay to manage debt service...but in any case, the Red Sawx outspend the Cubs significantly on an organizational level.
