Update 7;30: The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Rickett Family has won the bidding for the Chicago Cubs. It is reported that the bid was 900 million. (The good part of this is, the Rickett Family said they will take on the contract of Jake Peavy.)
Update 5:20: The Chicago Suntimes is reporting that the Ricketts family is the favorite to win the bidding for the Chicago Cubs.
Competitions during Spring Training:
Carlos Marmol vs Kevin Gregg. (Cubs.com reports)
Sean Marshall vs Garrett Olsen vs Angel Guzman vs Jeff Samardzija. (If the Cubs don't get Peavy)
Koyie Hill vs Welington Castillo vs Paul Bako. (If the Cubs sign him)
Mike Fontenot vs Aaron Miles.
My guess is:
Carlos Marmol wins closer job.
Sean Marshall wins 5th spot in starting rotation. (I think we will get Peavy for 5 players)
Koyie Hill wins Catcher spot.
Mike Fontenot wins second base job with Aaron Miles being a utility guy.
On other news:
Kerry Wood thanks Cubs fans for his time in Chicago.
Note: There are 2-3 sources that either say the Chicago Tribune will know who the new owner this week or today (Thursday)
Note: The Chicago Tribune knows who the owner is and has not said it public yet.
That is it for right now and if I here anything on the Cubs Ownership I will tell you.
