How the hell does a professional baseball team go broke? It's almost inconceivable.

The current owner of the Cubs--the Tribune Co.--did that to avoid break up fees with the pending sale to the Ricketts family. It benefits the Ricketts too--it protects them from any creditor claims that may be filed against the Tribune Co. (which filed for bankruptcy protection in Dec.) It's all for naught tho--new owners, better players, and a cohesive reoranization are no match for the curse that was brought down on the Cubs so many decades ago.

I've heard, don't know if it's true that the Cubs, despite the fact that they are sorry losers are one of the most profitable teams on baseball.
