The Cubs will likely remain under the ownership of Tribune Co. through at least the early part of the season. Cubs chairman Crane Kenney says it "will be a challenge" to complete the sale of the team by Opening Day on April 6. "There's a negotiation that's occurring, and like every negotiation, there's an issue or two that probably wasn't spotted early that needed to be resolved," Kenney said. "None of them are in any way fatal to the transaction. It's standard stuff, I would say. And the credit markets are challenging, and this is a transaction that will have some amount of debt on it." |
