Tom Ricketts believes the Chicago Cubs can compete in the Central
The Chicago Cubs have not won the National League Central since 2020, when they were 34-26 in 60 games, due to Covid shortening the season.

Falling short by 5.0 games of the Milwaukee Brewers in winning the division in 2025, Cubs owner Tom Ricketts believes his team has what it takes to win the Central.
“Obviously we want to win the division. We should win the division,” owner Tom Ricketts said to Marquee Sports Network. “You know, it’s just a matter of executing and staying healthy. And I think what we should be right there. You know, you want to win the division for a lot of reasons, not just because, because it’s aggravating not to, but you want to put yourself in the best position for the playoffs as well. And so, so hopefully that you know that will execute against that plan and be there at the season.”

The Cubs have a chance to dethrone the Brewers, as they did well to add to the roster this offseason, while the Brewers got worse by trading away their ace, Freddy Peralta, to the New York Mets.
The Chicago Cubs’ additions in the offseason should help them win the National League Central
Ricketts showed a willingness to spend this offseason, finally breaking open his checkbook and signing third baseman Alex Bregman (five years, $175 million) after two offseasons of him linked to the Cubs. The Cubs also did well to add to their starting rotation, acquiring right-hander Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins, while also re-signing left-hander Shota Imanaga.
Also adding right-handers Phil Maton, Jacob Webb, Hunter Harvey, and left-handers Caleb Thielbar and Holby Milner to the bullpen, the Cubs are improving on an already great asset — 11th in reliever ERA (3.78 ERA).
Injuries are a part of the game, and president of baseball operations, Jed Hoyer, will need to be shrewd in his dealings at the trade deadline to push the Cubs past the Brewers and the reigning World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
