Wow, there is a lot to unpack in Tom Ley’s exhaustive exposé of the true story behind the Ricketts family’s purchase of the Cubs. Thanks to a cache of family patriarch Joe Ricketts’ emails, the same source of information that previously revealed his bigoted views and the family’s corporate structure, Deadspin was was able to provide “an unprecedented insider’s view of an MLB team sale.”
And when I say there’s a lot to unpack, I mean like way more than I could ever dream of fitting into the carry-on I brought to Cabo.
