CHICAGO CUB(an)S


Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner with deep pockets, denies that a deal is in the works for him to purchase the Chicago Cubs from Tribune Co. Tribune wants to sell. Cuban wants to buy. The $625 million is more than the franchise is worth. What's the hold up?
Last wednesday, Cuban denied that the deal is going down. Denial of a business deal is common as the lawyers and accountants dot the i's and cross the t's. It'll happen because Cuban wants the Cubs. People with his kind of money usually get what they want.
