Cubs principal owner Tom Ricketts said in the Athletic that he feels that some clubs spent in past seasons because of TV deals kicking in or other lump sum monies becoming available. He indicated that the trend may not continue. “I think everyone has finite resources.”

Others feel that recent financial issues such as declining Baltimore attendance and MASN courts setbacks will cause the club to become a true small market spender.
2018 commitments (give or take $129 million)
