Chicago Cubs Owner Trolled By Six-Year-Old Kid, You're Cheap!

Chicago Cubs owner Thomas Ricketts is used to getting an earful from fans about his baseball team … but now he’s even drawing the ire of LITTLE KIDS — ’cause a six-year-old child called him cheap straight to his face!

TMZ Sports obtained the hilarious clip shot last weekend at the team’s annual fan summit called “Cubs Convention.” In the clip, Ricketts, owner and team chairman, was making the rounds signing autographs and chatting it up with supporters … when he encountered the disgruntled young boy.

We’re told the plan was for the kid to ask Ricketts to sign a bat inscribed with “The cheapest owner in Baseball” … though TR obviously didn’t play along.

After making sure he heard correctly, the 61-year-old owner asked who his dad was, knowing the child was probably told to do this by his pops. Unfortunately, the video cuts off before we see how the interaction ended.

The young supporter is not alone in his criticism of the Cubs honcho. Fans grew annoyed recently when he said they couldn’t spend money like their New York or L.A. counterparts.

“They think somehow we have all these dollars that the Dodgers have or the Mets have or the Yankees have and we just keep it,” he said. “Which isn’t true at all. What happens is we try to break even every year, and that’s about it.”

Despite the owner’s claim, many aren’t buying the explanation … especially considering the team is valued at around $4.225 BILLION. According to reports, Ricketts also has a personal net worth of around $2.3 billion.

We’ll see if the call-out inspires the Cubs to open up their wallets even more — but even so, with most of the big-name free agents already off the board, fans may have to wait until next season!

BOSTON – Whispers from the hallowed halls of Fenway Park have turned into a low rumble, the kind that echoes through the Green Monster’s shadow and sends shivers down the spines of Yankees fans. It’s late November 2025, and the Boston Red Sox are in the thick of their offseason chess game, plotting moves that could redefine the AL East for years to come. At the center of it all? Third base – or more precisely, the gaping void left by Alex Bregman’s impending departure. The three-time All-Star, who inked a three-year, $120 million pact with Boston last winter only to opt out after a solid if injury-marred 2025, is testing free agency waters once more. His .273 average, 18 homers, and 3.5 WAR in 114 games were a welcome tonic for a lineup starved for right-handed pop, but Bregman’s eyes are wandering toward a long-term deal closer to the $150 million mark he once chased in Houston.
