Inland makes offer for Wrigley, not Cubs
The Score (WSCR radio Chicago) had it wrong. During their sports news updates today, they were reporting Inland Real Estate of Oak Brook, a publicly traded REIT (NYSE symbol IRC) has reportedly made an offer of $300,000,000 to buy the Cubs. Then they chuckled the offer was off by about $700k. In fact, the Inland offer was aparently just for Wrigley Field, not the entire baseball franchise.
