Companies can sell subsidiaries in which they have a very low basis through tax-efficient transactions like Reverse Morris Trusts and tax free spins to shareholders, but they usually involve the parent company or its shareholders receiving stock consideration. There are some debt + derivative trades that can allow for tax-efficient monetizations, but it is unlikely you could do it with an asset like this. Since it seems that the Trib needs/prefers cash consideration, I highly doubt they can find a way to make this a tax-efficient sale. The only thing I can think of is doing some kind of securitization of revenue streams or licensing fees as part of the deal. That could be a possibility. You're smarter than me.

Cy Kuroda's line tonight: 2.1 IP, 5 H, 4 BB, 2 HR, 6 ER against the offensive powerhouse that is the San Diego Padres.

What's the story on this?

AUDIO/VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS STAT!!

It wasn't Edmonds. It was Reed Johnson doing what Reed Johnson does best.
-
Seriously? In front of Edmonds? What has he done this game anyways?
-
Good thing Smoltz is out for the year, amirite people?
-
Just think .. if Marmol was a Yankee, everybody would be asking why he wasn't a starter.
-
Don't. We are still paying the guy. So if we sign him, we don't have to pay anything extra? The money "paid" to him for this stint will just come out of whatever it is we're already paying him? Hmmm............

Soriano to DL-fracture of the left metacarpal
chuckywang replied to snoodmonger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hmm ... would the Cubs be reimbursed for this portion of Soriano's salary by insurance? -
What's wrong with DeRosa in LF and Cedeno at 2B? Is that worse than a Murton/Hoffpauir platoon?
-
Let Edmonds and Johnson play full time. That is perhaps the worst possible solution. I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I read that.
-
Game was in Cinci.
-
That's one step below giving up a home run to Terry Tiffee.
-
"That was a strike. THIS is a ball."
-
Minimally displaced fracture on Soriano's hand. Medical experts, what does this mean?
-
God I wish ESPN wasn't blacked out.

Thank god Greg Norton isn't playing LF anymore.

Yeah, but they're doing it with Ludwick, Ryan, Miles, Schumacher, Looper, and Wellemeyer.
