This would be a fun one to watch and I think he'd be good for MLB. I'd love to see Bud Selig get his hat handed to him by Cuban.

Peter Gammons said today on Mike & Mike in the morning that both Selig and Jerry Reinsdorf will likely block Cuban from owning the cubs. Reinsdorf apparently has told David Stern on a number of occasions that Cuban has ruined the NBA and that he (reinsdorf) told Stern he shouldn't have let him in in the first place.

I'm not surprised to see Reinsdorf panicking. He's probably afraid that Cuban will steal attention and fans.

And I'm not sure how he has ruined the NBA either.

I can understand a concern about free agency in a sport with no Salary cap, but with the Mariners at the ready to give Ichiro $20 million and Arod's agent seeking 30 million for him...I'd say that concern is there with or without cuban.
