We all know the Cubs havent won in forever. Obviously there' been numerous general managers/presidents that have worked for the organization and try to bring them a championship. Some have come close but never achieved the ultimate goal.
Theo and Jed have been here for a year and a half, why is everyone bashing them already? If you really think anyone was going to walk into the position and build a contending team right away is crazy. Ive never heard such crazy things on here before such as rebuilding an entire farm system while contending.
Look at what Jim Hendry did. He signed free agents or traded for players. Sometimes they were contenders but they never had sustained success for over a long period of time. Theo and Jed believe the key to long term success is by building a farm system with great player development and scouting.
I don't know about anyone else but I don't want to contend for 2 years and then be average again. I want the Cubs to be consistent contenders for a long period of time. There is a reason Theo and Jed are working for one of the most historic franchises in baseball and all of sports and you're sitting at home. You can judge their plan in two years.
