Not sure the Cubs plan to ever win again…
Seriously, has the clubhouse gone bad? Jed pulled a Jed at the deadline and did almost nothing to the one area that had to be fixed for the Cubs to have ANY chance of success in the postseason. No chance of making a run now. So has the team just quit?

I was getting a little nauseated by all the Jed Hoyer love Cubs’ fans were showing earlier this week.
After a disappointing deadline where Jed managed to get only Soroka for the rotation, the Jed vitriol is bubbling back up. Glad to see Cubs’ fans haven’t gotten complacent.
Can we fire Jed yet?
