Regardless of your disdain for players' attitude, it is definitely a factor when they are considering several offers from teams.
The Cubs are already at a huge disadvantage because players don't really see it as a place for championships. The poor player facilities just make it worse.
Really the only thing we can compete on is money (obviously) and history/tradition, but the Yankees, Red Sox, etc have that AND a winning record AND more money.
