What happens when the team isnt doing well? They all go to JR and throw the others under the bus. This has literally been going on since the white flag trade. This is why they don't win. It's the organizational structure. If the Cubs dont win, it's more than likely because Jed is risk averse.
For real, they can have identical results (which they haven't since Ricketts has taken over), but the reasons for those results would be night and day different.
It's why they're one of three teams to never give out a 9-figure contract. historically refused to give SP's more than 4 years.
