In what’s become an annual tradition, Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts separately addressed the team and the Chicago media covering spring training in Arizona. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney give Cubs fans the most important takeaways from that session with the club’s owner. How should Marquee Sports Network be judged at this point? What does the league’s TV future look like? Where does all that fit into the push for a salary cap in the upcoming labor negotiations? What about money for the trade deadline? For comprehensive coverage of the Cubs all year round, subscribe to North Side Territory.
