He was saying that since the Tribune is filing for bankruptcy, they will be allowed to sell the Cubs to the highest bidder regardless of whether the owners vote the bidder in. He was saying he wasn't 100% sure on that but was talking about trying to schedule a legal adviser on the show to clear it all up.

Cuban anyone?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I doubt it's that simple. The Tribune's creditors will have a say (and will want the highest bidder), but MLB can still say no to any owner. And the Cubs are worthless if MLB says no to you being the owner, so you won't bid the highest if you know they'll say no.
