The Cubs’ value, calculated for the team’s current sale of around 20 percent of the club, is in excess of $2 billion, sources said, with that process expected to finish soon. Galatioto Sports Partners is managing the sale. GSP representatives declined to comment.


I imagine this will help him buy the rooftops.

Surprised they're not letting Crane handle this. Tommy appears to trust him with anything and he's done such a great job with everything else.

Someone on Twitter just pointed out this 20% is going to cover almost half of the price they paid for the team. Decent investment.

Doesn't compare to the Reinsdorf stadium deal.

This is why the "The Ricketts are poor" thing was always so dumb. They leveraged extended losing, loans, and accounting tricks to make huge amounts of money for themselves.

I would love to know the percentage of Cubs fans that think Rickett's is a competent owner. It can't be that high.
