I mean i don't think they are good people either but I also think the "broke" schtick is complete media bullshit. Since 2016 the cubs opening day pay roll has been $171.6 mil, $172.2 mil, $182.4 mil, $203 mil, and last year would have been $216 mil but obviously the covid shortened season. The cubs have spent a lot of fucking money and haven't gotten results.
Like I'm sorry but people are being stupid if they don't understand why the cubs cut costs. Go look at the Giants acquiring Longoria and Matt Moore among other players trying to grasp at sand to see why you don't keep chasing that way. It's the old idiom of throwing good money after bad.
