Mark Cuban to buy Cubs?
Look for Bud Selig and his cronies to nix this deal as Selig digs deep into his bag of tricks learned from years of selling used cars.
Cuban is the exact kind of owner Selig doesn't want.
Cuban's the type of billionaire that'll go out and invest money in scouts, organization, and players.
In short, he will show that anyone with a Billion dollars (i.e., ALL of the owners) can make their teams work if they only invest money in building.
Selig and his phalanx have spent the better part of two decades trying to convince fans that Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Oakland are just too poor to spend as much money as the Yankees.
And it's all garbage.
Show me a billionaire that couldn't match Steinbrenner's $200M of player payroll.
It can't be done.
