The thing about the sale of the Chicago
Cubs, and all its trimmings (Wrigley Field and ComcastSports
Chicago), is it may be unlike any deal prior. Forget looking at the Lerners and Stan Kasten with the Nationals. Forget looking at Liberty Media and the sale of the Braves from Time Warner. Forget the sale of the Dodgers to Frank McCourt. It seems that we should expect the unexpected. This ...

Many think that Stan Kasten is crazy or
blowing smoke when he claims that his team is
"way ahead" of the Braves franchise he rebuilt in the late '80s and transformed into a dynasty. I've been hard on the Nats president for the decision to field a...
