Tom’s paid the tax before and will again Archived Message

The most disappointing recent Cubs team is the 2019 one, which had the #2 payroll in MLB. The 2024 MLB salary will probably come in around 5th or 6th. The Cubs are also a top 5 spender in baseball operations and development staff. Routinely ranked in the top 5 alongside the Rays, Dodgers, and Guardians for the largest baseball ops staffs. Spending hasn’t prevented the Cubs from winning, which they’ve done a lot since Tom bought the team. What sank that 2015-2020 core was the lack of internal pitching development and the career of Addison Russell falling off and plateauing of Bryant/Rizzo/Baez.
