I’m admittedly a sucker for any story that includes the words “internal tensions between the business and baseball sides,” no matter what organization is being discussed.
But when that team is the Chicago Cubs and the authors are two well-respected reporters for The Athletic, I’m even more intrigued.
The tension, it appears, was brought into the open after Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney told WSCR-AM 670 in an interview last week that president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer didn’t spend all of last year’s budget and would have the opportunity to spend the leftover funds this offseason.
