Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts isn’t mincing words — the goal is clear: win the NL Central and bring more World Series titles back to the North Side.In this episode, Cody and Blake welcome Carl, formally of Barstool, to break down Ricketts’ recent comments about the team’s expectations, payroll strategy, front office direction, and what it will take for the Cubs to return to championship form. With the competitive landscape in the National League Central getting tougher every year, Ricketts emphasized that simply competing isn’t enough. The Cubs need to win the division consistently and build a roster capable of making deep postseason runs. He also had some interesting comments about the upcoming CBA and the state of Marquee Sports Network.We also talk about Cubs starter Cade Horton, who Craig Counsell says is touching 96-98 mph early this spring. Is he primed for a breakout season? We'll end the show with more unfortunate news related to Kris Bryant and his injury status. Tap in with Cody, Blake and Carl for episode 76 of Wrigleyville Forever.
