Here's some hot stove talk about Peavy and a hot seat for Mark Cuban, I guess.
If like me you would like to see Cuban own the Cubs, this is really pretty bad news.
Yesterday he was charged with insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
From the NEW YORK TIMES: "The charges could pose a problem for his dreams of a burgeoning sports empire. Mr. Cuban is widely reported to be the lead bidder for the Chicago Cubs baseball team, but he is thought to be too hot to handle by many of Major League Baseball’s current owners. The insider-trading lawsuit may only make his quest for the baseball team more difficult to fulfill."
And
unless you’ve been trying to not pay attention, you’d already know there's also
been tons of ink thrown around about Jake Peavy and the Cubs and a trade.
That’s
really about Ryan Dempster not being signed yet - if he doesn't sign the Cubs
go for Peavy and if he does then... well who knows?
