Cubs sold to Tom Ricketts
Monday, July 6, 2009
The Cubs have been sold... almost. According to a breaking news alert I received from the Chicago Tribune, the Ricketts family has closed the sale from the Tribune Company. The only remaining hurdle is the MLB owners approval, and that is all but a formality as Bud Selig has already paved the way.
For Cubs fans, this is a triumphant day. The Tribune Company ownership wasn't all bad, but the last few years of having the team on the sale bloc has been particularly painful. Here's hoping Ricketts has enough money left to splurge on a few mid-season trades and turn this season around. First up, Jake Peavy!

I am glad so see the cubs go to him. Since he is a fan then he will know what a fan wants to see. Which is the cubs to win. I have loved to watch them since i was in a drug rehab program and i don't want to see them go away.
