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...

<b>#1. The Cubs aren't even a part of the bankruptcy proceedings</b>
#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.

I'm talking about the team filing separately. There were media reports 1 month ago about this.

If I recall correctly this was to protect the Cubs from being assets subject to liquidation under the Tribune bankruptcy.
