made the front page of mlb.com

apparently Gammons says the Cubs have made Theo an offer. So it’s not just rumor-mongering at this point.

I dunno. Guess we’ll see. This quote from Ricketts is hilarious….the ghost of Branch Rickey couldn’t get that team to contend next year.

Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts has said he wants to hire someone from a winning organization who will emphasize player development while making winning at the big league level a short-term goal.

“I think one thing you’ve seen in baseball over the last few years is that turnarounds can happen pretty quickly,” Ricketts said on the last day of the regular season in San Diego. "I don’t think it’s meaningful to describe a year as a rebuilding year or a reloading year or any of that.

“The fact is, you get the right players on the team and they all stay healthy and they play hard. A team can go from 70 wins to 90 wins. It happens pretty frequently. Look at the Diamondbacks — look at the Cubs a few years ago. Things turn around fast, and that’s the way we look at things.”

How can you emphasize player development and winning at the big-league level in the short term at the same time? Is Ricketts planning on outspending the Yankees or something?
