How many gms other than John S have even won titles with two orgs?

Factor in ending two 100 year droughts that have totally turned around two large market franchises and I think he’s clearly getting in.

He’s not a dummy.

i don't think anyone is saying Theo is a dummy.

Sort of feels that way.

I think some dirt is being thrown on the Cubs that probably isn't quite deserved just yet. It looks like they will have some payroll room this offseason and their core will return once again. Not as well set up as the Astros, but maybe not all THAT different in their window longevity.

Not sure where Epstein leaving fit in Boston's timeline, but the Sox had a very brief setback before returning quickly back to the contender ranks. Wouldn't necessarily consign the Cubs to purgatory just yet. Though I do wonder what rule changes in international market are going to do to the big market's ability to dominate those ranks.
