Deadline on Wrigley Renovation Deal Extended: Sources

There was "sufficient progress" on Monday in marathon discussions between officials from the Chicago Cubs, the mayor's office and Ald. Tom Tunney's office, and Cubs executives have have agreed to continue discussions beyond their self-imposed April 1 deadline, sources told NBC Chicago.

Souces: Deal may be close

Just a quick take from Kaplan's latest:

About damn time...

Just can't wait for a official announcement and renderings of everything discussed

 

[Rice Cube]

We'll find out by Monday I suppose. It's still tentative, but all signs point to "probably"

 

[Rice Cube]

Calcaterra's take:

At some point since they're sticking around, we'll probably start a new thread for the presser and allow this thread to ride off in the sunset.

More confirmation, this time from Kaplan who always said they were moving to Rosemont

It's pretty much real because now the rooftops are threatening to sue for anyone who didn't hear about it earlier.

Any way Ricketts can buy out the contract that the Cubs have with these losers?

If he can, he should and tell them to go kick rocks

I doubt the Cubs would have risked all this at the negotiation table if they thought the rooftops were a legitimate threat.

And, for good measure, and for warm fuzzies, Kaplan quotes a former GM who now scouts for another organization (and who may or may not be Jim Hendry):

“Tom Ricketts has always said that after expenses all of the remaining revenues will be reinvested into the baseball operations department. The thought of Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer and a big pile of money is a scary thought. I never thought I would say this but the Cubs are finally going to be the powerhouse that they should have been a long time ago.”

That last paragraph make me very happy...

Cpl days old....


Unless Carlos Marmol gets involved, the Cubs still hope to close a deal with the city to renovate Wrigley Field by Monday's home opener. :lol:

Next, they need to put a Putt-Putt Gold course in centerfield. Eventually they need to add a high tech laser show too.

Laser light show, I like it

Some new details...the ship is moving forward, but slowly.
