Cuban was always a longshot, but when I read that he hadn't been involved in the process for months, and then shortly afterward the insider trading allegation was made public, it pretty much killed his bid for good. Ricketts is pretty close 2nd to Cuban in my mind. He's young, comes from a good family, is loaded, and is a true blue fan. He met his wife at Wrigley, and there's no doubt in my mind that his heart is in the right place. I don't know what it would mean for payroll, but I think he would build a first rate organization.
