Here's My Offer to Buy the Cubs

[Wilson A2000]

I have $600 million from an inheritance. I want to buy the Cubs. I just want to break even every year like the Angels. I love baseball. So if I overbid by $100 million will the Tribune Co sell the Cubs to me?

I'll be your proxy. Write me a check and I'll take it to the Cubs...I swear... 8-[

It depends on how much they need that 600 million right now. To put it another way, if you owned a $500,000 two story apartment building that made around $20,000 a year in rent after expenses/taxes, would you sell it for $600,000? I wouldn't.

Yep...just depends on how much in debt they are.

If the team needs legal counsel, I offer my services at a reduced rate, and just to save you some more money, I'll be happy to mow the lawn twice a week when necessary as well...I have many skills! :D

[Wilson A2000]

As an investment, I wonder how much the Cubs gain in profit as a % per year. Didn't Steinbrenner buy the Yankees for $20 million? What are they worth now?

[Master Shake]

And I will be the team motivator.

 

For a home run, I'll get a hooker for the batter. For a grand slam, I'll get the batter a hooker and also NOT tell his wife.

 

For hitting into a double play, I'll let a random fan take one swing at the player with the player's bat.

 

I'll even work for free.

I probably would. You're looking at trading $20K a year for a one time shot of $100K, but you're overlooking the opportunity to reinvest the original 500K while keeping the extra 100K (or better yet, reinvest the whole 600K, if you're a little lucky or savy, you could turn the 600 into more than 20 a year).

How about a menage-a-tois for a multi homer game?

I'll pitch in another $50 if that turns out to be the straw that broke the camels back...

I'm not liking the direction this is taking. Please cease the inappropriate awards discussion.

I have to ask. Is this actually true, or are you just talking in hypotheticals? Cause if it is true, that's kind of awesome.

Relax. I was only joking..

 

 

Well.. Not about the "Beating them with their own bat" part.
