The Tribune Co. announced that it has accepted a very large buyout offer, and that the Cubs will be sold following the 2007 season.
Overall this is a good thing for Cubs fans, as they may actually end up with an owner that will put winning ahead of the bottom line. And all that money the Cubs spent on high-priced free agents? Well it will do nothing short of increase the value of the team.
Is Tribune Co. showing its true colors once again? Perhaps the whole "we want to win right now" campaign was nothing more than a ploy to raise the value of the team before they sold it.
I guess it was all just another line that Cubs fans were happy to swallow, hook and all.
