A Cubs equivalent of the YES network would be a good start.
Let's see how things play out with new ownership before we start freaking out about next year and the year after. It might require eating a lot of contract, but we could shed some of that salary if Ricketts plans on rebuilding.
Yes -- it might hurt for the next couple of years, but it's been painful for my whole life. What's a few more years of misery?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If the team successfully files for bankruptcy, then there might be hope of shedding a bad contract or two. I know it's a longshot legally, but you never know. Please, let there be a loophole somewhere...

#1. The Cubs aren't even a part of the bankruptcy proceedings
#2. MLB players union will never allow that to happen.
#3. Even if it did happen the Cubs reputation would be significantly sullied and no top FA would want to sign with the Org. ever again.
