Baseball owners (like every other corporate entity) know what they need to charge to make a reasonable profit but will price the product at the maximum of what they think the market will bear.
Of course, as you point out, this will be the last time we see a quote that accurately depicts the condition that drives ticket prices.

It sucks for Cubs fans, but at least nobody’s being outright lied-to about it like in nearly every other market.
