Chicago Cubs: The team is kinda, sorta but not really for sale

Related Topics: Tribune Media, Sales, Chicago Cubs

With the Nexstar acquisition of Tribune Media Company, there is the possibility that you or I could buy the remaining five percent share in the Chicago Cubs the Tribune Company holds. Talk about a holiday wish list, right?

Unfortunately, word is that Tribune/Nexstar already has a possible sale imminent and the safe bet is it might be to the Ricketts family, who already own the other 95 percent of the team thanks to their 2009 purchase. Fortunately for all of us, the Ricketts have done the city of Chicago, Cubs fans and everyone who works for them a great service since buying the club.
