What is this? A rumor on "Around the Horn" or "PTI" yesterday on ESPN.
Are the Cubs looking for a buyer? Somehow the Donald came into the picture.

I can see it now...
Dusty walks into the boardroom, sits in a leather chair, and Trump says:
"Dusty, you were a couple of outs from reaching the World Series. You saw your players rattled and as project manager, you should have done something to calm them down. I mean, Alou was throwing his glove on the ground like a little kid, yet you chose to ignore it. An error here, a hit there, and everything came crumbling down. You seem like a nice guy but this is business."
"Dusty... You're fired!"
The Cubs would be a good investment, though, because no matter how crappy the team, the games always sell out.
<< <i>Like it's Dusty's fault that team stinks, or that Wood has no durability, or that Lee got hurt, or that management has no need to field a competitive team.

While spending $100mil I highly doubt they were trying to not field a competitive.
The team spends money so that is just plain stupid. They have spent money on the wrong people and that needs to be addressed.

I didn't say they don't spend money, I just said the team consistently is bad.
Wasn't a knock against the players, just the management's choice in who they bring in (and letting Nomar go was a huge mistake).

If there is any truth to this, I sincerely hope that the City of Chicago takes a serious look at following the Green Bay model and just does what needs to be done
Trump and the Cubs is not a good mix. Hopefully, this will blow over as a non-event
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Dont think you have to worry. This thread is six years old.
