Cubs Filed Bankruptcy
At the bottom of the article under "Corporate Movers" is a note that the Tribune Co filed Chapter 11 this afternoon.
Tribune Co., which owns the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and Chicago Cubs, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday afternoon. The company, which has a very high debt load related to when Samuel Zell took it private, cited a "perfect storm" of declining ad revenue, tough economic and credit conditions.
What if any impact will this have on the Cubs and Free Agency?
Will Mark Cuban (or other buyers) want to go through Bankruptcy court at their current bids for the team or will they be able to lower their bids?

Yea
extremely misleading title, mostly because its not true and has litte effect on the cubs.
What to do, with Larry Hughe?
Obviously you do not follow Federal Bankruptcy courts… With the Trib filing Chapter 11 – All aspects of the company – including the Cubs fall into control of the courts. Regardless of what Jim Hendry says – this can/will effect the off season.
