Theo Epstein and the ‘three masters’ Cubs are trying to serve this offseason

One of the best parts of Cubs Convention is the access fans have to the organization’s biggest figures. Whether in passing in the convention’s hotel lobby or during hour-long panels, fans have opportunities to meet members of the Cubs and ask legitimate questions on the state of the team.

An example occurred Saturday, when a fan had his two minutes of fame during the baseball operations panel.

“The fact that it has been a slower offseason and the fact that it’s pretty obvious we don’t want to increase payroll,” the fan said to team president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer.
