True T, but do you know any billion dollar sales that aren't fairly complicated? Every thing needs some sort of regulatory, shareholder, or family approval.

bloomberg is usually pretty accurate but there are supposedly like, seven groups (one including mark cuban) bidding for the cubs. that kind of stuff can get out of control. where it stops, nobady knows.

From Bloomberg Financial:
The Cubs' sale price is likely to exceed Dan Snyder's 1999 purchase of the National Football League's Washington Redskins for $800 million, the most paid for an American sports team. John Henry's $700 million purchase in 2002 of the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park and the majority of a regional-sports network is the most spent for a baseball team.
