A well placed source has updated Chi-ball on the Cubs sale:
The bidding is down to three prospective owners.
The deal is being offered as a “partnership” with Sam Zell.
According to the source, there are not many people in the current economical environment that can be fluid enough with their funds to make a deal like this work.
Tom Ricketts is still the leader at this time, and does not see any obstacles for him presently.
There is a group still alive that hasn’t been mentioned by the media.
We should know more by the weekend.
