Cubs address sale of team

MLB.com's Carrie Muskat has an article out today. The Cubs ownership address the sale of the team with fans on Sunday during a Q&A at their annual 23rd Cubs Convention.

Cubs chairman Sam Zell, is considering selling the team to the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority who owns and operates U.S. Cellular Field (White Sox ballpark). The agency was created in 1987 for the purpose of constructing and renovating sports stadiums for professional sports teams in the state.

When asked about who the new owner should be, Zell replied, "We want to make sure it's the right owner, not just the highest bidder."

I have a name for them....Mark Cuban, who has already expressed his interest in buying the club.
