| From This Week In Texas Baseball
With the Chicago Cubs
suffering from their 97th World Series freeze out in a row, the club
may be looking to change ownership, and the boys have thrown their hats
in the ring to become the new boss. Now that the
Boston Red Sox have destroyed their Curse of the Bambino, winning two
World Series in the past four years, the Cubs are one of the only
remaining teams to be suffering a severe losing streak. In
order to salvage the Cubs' slowly dying popularity, it was suggested
that basketball's Dallas Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban would be a
great addition to helm the club. The city has even enacted a petition
begging the celebrity billionaire to consider the position.
It was reported in
Radar Magazine that
Cuban was willing to offer up $625 million to buy the iconic Cubs from
current owners Tribune Co. That news must now have sat well
with his arch nemesis Trump who has been in a verbal war with Cuban
over the past few years about everything from how much money each man
makes to their rivaling reality shows. Trump revealed to the
Chicago Sun Tribune that he would consider buying
the Cubs in order to save them from being owned by Cuban. No
official word has been released on whether the club is even for sale,
but insiders at Tribune Co. who have owned the club for the past 25
years, say that currently no such deal is being considered. |
