That is the description of the Cubs new owner.

On other News (Jake Peavy)
Buster Onley says "there have been no recent conversations between the Padres and Cubs about Jake Peavy," but he believes talks could be restarted quickly given the Cubs' selection yesterday of the Thomas Ricketts group as the potential new owner.

Steve Stone said, he believes the Peavy deal will get done

There are some people that think the deal is in place and Hendry is just waiting for the Rickett Family to call, and say that he can make the deal.

The rumors will probably start next week.

I will keep you posted.
