where are all those revenue streams the financially astute sports reporters told us about for years?

if they back up the truck and rebuild from scratch i am ok w them not getting anyone. I'd rather have them start trading the guys they have for some prospects.

“Monetize everything” has led to “thread the needle.”

Suck for a couple of years, buy even more Wrigleyville real estate at bargain basement prices, build it back up in the second half of the decade.

Then I think they sell the team, 2028-ish. Get $3B for the team and still own all the real estate.

They bought that real estate near the top of the market

nothing says rebuild from scratch like letting your Babe Fucking Ruth walk away for nothing when you could have traded him last year.

I'm thinking mostly the rooftops and the hotel last go around. Now they can tank the team and buy up various lots in each direction.

I really wish the Cubs paid 7 million for a below average corner outfielder.

Shut up Ogie and go buy your Adam Eaton jersey.

I think those rooftops had their day but were starting to become money losers. I know the later era ones bankrupted their owners.
