Cubs' Todd Ricketts Meets With Trump; Up For Administration Position

Cubs co-Owner Todd Ricketts is "up for a top spot in the Trump administration," meeting yesterday with President-elect Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Ricketts met a "little less than an hour" with Trump, Pence, Chief of Staff designate Reince Priebus and incoming Senior Adviser Stephen Bannon. Ricketts' business background "fits, if not as a commerce secretary, in a senior post as an economic adviser or as an undersecretary or agency head." The Ricketts family members were "among the biggest donors to the RNC" in the '16 campaign cycle (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 11/20). Meanwhile, Trump today "is huddling" with WME-IMG co-CEO Ari Emanuel (POLITICO.com, 11/20).
