Tribune Co. Puts Cubs On The Market

Not since the Yawkey Trust put the Red Sox up for sale in ‘99 has a more valuable baseball franchise been on the market than the Cubs. The team has undeniable national appeal, and speculation has it going for well north of $600M. A number of high-profile suitors already have emerged, including Jerry Colangelo, Mark Cuban and Donald Trump. With MLB eyeing the completion of the sale by the start of next season, this will clearly be one of the best sports business stories to watch in the days and months ahead.
