The Cubs have the 4th highest payroll in the game. The highest in the NL Central by about $30M, the Ricketts aren't asking Theo to run the team on a Rays like budget.
I'm aware. I picked my words carefully there by saying spend "more."
They'll cry poverty about the luxury tax, but other stories have shown that it's a drop in the bucket for Cubs money. They just aren't willing to make the effort, which involves spending the money.
