I wouldnt sign him to a 5 year deal that is for sure. I say that a three year deal is more logical. But that won't happen.

Anyway, what is the status of Mark Cuban buying the Cubs?

You're correct..no player can have any ownership position in a team.

I think Cuban would love to buy the Cubs...He was in the bleachers last week and saying all the right things. But the old boys network of Selig and Reinsdorf want no part of him in Chicago. Ironically, Selig supposedly wants a group to buy the Cubs led by a guy who is a monority owner of the Brewers. That is the ultimate insider's game
