The Chicago Cubs face increasing scrutiny from fans and executives due to their disproportionate spending on player payroll compared to their substantial revenue, which ranks third in MLB. A social media post highlighted the Cubs’ near-bottom ranking in payroll percentage, which unsettled many. This paradox is evident in managerial salaries and roster decisions that lean toward budget constraints, raising questions about the team's commitment to winning as they navigate a pivotal season.
Even as one of the world's most beloved ballparks hums along, a single post on social media struck a nerve with fans and inside the executive offices.
It's seen in trading for Kyle Tucker after back-to-back years with 83 wins, but not going all-out to maximize his final season before becoming a free agent.
