No one knows when fans will be allowed back into the parks and
what the capacity will be.

What does that have to do with MLBAM revenue? or hotel revenue
from visiting teams that you happen to own? or many others ways
to divest/hide revenue to other ventures vs the "club".

They're mocking themselves, really. A skill you seem to have
perfected.

Fans not coming into Wrigley is a lot of money. Ticket sale
alone would be around $183 million. Add it merchandise, food and
beer and that is a lot of cash that just disappears from the
budget. The Cubs make plenty of money when fans are in the
stands. Without fans it isn’t a stretch to see them losing
money. I’m hardly somebody that defends Ricketts not spending
money, but I’d give him a pass here.

Contreras and Hoerner finalists for NL gold gloves.
Baez, Rizzo, Heyward too—-the usual suspects.

It sounds like the Cubs want Justin Stone to remain the Director
of Hitting, but bring somebody onto the major league staff that
shares his views/insights.

At some point, they're just going to have to admit it's not the
coaching staff's fault. The hitters aren't as good as they
thought they would be.

Or as good as they were in 2016 when they over achieved.
