Trump to buy Cubs?
Could Trump buy Cubs?
So if Donald Trump purchases the Chicago Cubs, will team manager Dusty Baker be hearing "You're fired!" shortly thereafter? That may be getting a little ahead of the game, but in an interview on 670 The Score in Chicago, Trump said he'd be interested in purchasing the franchise. Trump, appearing as a guest on the "Mike North Morning Show," was asked if he would want to own the team. His reply: "I would be interested, yeah. I think the Cubs are a great franchise, a storied franchise, an amazing franchise. "It's sad to see what's happened to the Cubs, but management hasn't really done a good job over the years." "I would certainly be interested in the Cubs," Trump said. The Tribune Company is reportedly considering selling the struggling team. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5811464?FSO1&ATT=HMA I hope not. I hate Trump. |

I thought Mark Cuban was looking at buying the Cubs?

Trump buying the Cubs has been a story without merit for years. He says it to appease Chicago fans but he's never been seriously interested.

No, the Penguins or Pirates. The Pirates owner won't sell, but he is in a franchise group for the Penguins right now. |

I don't think Trump is even worth a billion dollars, neverthless.

Well before someone can buy it, someone has to want to sell it. And there's no indication that the Tribune company is interested in that at this time.
