MLB insider blasts Chicago Cubs’ owners for lack of spending
The Chicago Cubs are once again entering a very important offseason, following a playoff appearance in 2025.
Already, we have seen them make a decision on starter Shota Imanaga. Pending decisions are also looming including whether or not they should try to re-sign Kyle Tucker. While it’s unlikely that happens, could the Cubs use that money elsewhere?
Don’t hold your breath.
The Cubs haven’t shown recently that they are willing to spend, operating like a small market team. That’s likely to continue this free agency period despite that postseason appearance. And now, they are getting called out for it by a top MLB insider.
Jon Heyman calls out Chicago Cubs owners
On a recent Bleacher Report segment, MLB insider Jon Heyman called out Cubs owner Tom Ricketts for a lack of spending. And he didn’t hold back on Ricketts….
“Cubs have the greatest disparity between revenue and payroll,” Heyman said. “They are #1 so crown Tom Ricketts the champion for pocketing the most amount of money.”

Oof.
He goes on to say that the Cubs do have money and now with no Imanaga and trading Kittredge, they should be able to spend. He calls for a big move and mentions Kyle Schwarber’s name as a possible option.
Heyman is right though. The Cubs don’t like to spend and it should be frustrating for the fan base to see them operate like this. The Cubs make a lot of money and the disparity between that and spending on the roster is among the league’s worst.
With enough money to spend and a team that just made the postseason, they need to make some moves to improve the team and be a real contender. History shows they wont but hopefully things have changed.
