It's been 106 years since the Chicago Cubs last won a World Series. They've had many playoff appearances since but nothing to smile about for fans in Chicago. Former CEO and billionaire Jack Cruz wanted this to change and he set out to purchase the Chicago Cubs to restore them to their former glory and somehow break the curse that was over the Cubs for many years. Welcome to the first installment of the Jack Cruz Owns series...The Chicago Cubs! Record Under Jack Cruz Ownership Year | Win | Loss | Pct. | Finish | Playoff Results | 2015 | 91 | 72 | .568 | 3rd in NL Central | Lost in Divisional Series |

It has been confirmed that 12 time MLB All-Star Manny Ramirez will return to play for the Cubs during the 2015 season. Speculation is running rampant over how his age will affect his play.

Jack Cruz wants results and he wants them fast as shown with a monumental trade that will send Jonathan Herrera and Trevor Cahill to the Toronto Blue Jays for Josh Donaldson.

In a shocking turn of events, Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester have been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Clayton Kershaw.
