Add in that they can spend more than anyone in the division and I don't see how they don't dominate the division in the next couple of years.
Going on your point, yeah, this was the last year we had a chance in this division. The other 3 teams all have reason to believe they are good, and now the Cubs look like a force.
As was debated on this thread, the guy knew how to build through the draft and reclamation/trades. They will now pay to keep these guys around and finally spend some of the extra big-market money for support.
Maybe in year 8 it will crash and burn like it did in Boston from all of the money the big market has, but that's a long ways from now.
