Tom Ricketts has been selected the new owner of the Chicago Cubs by the Tribune Company.
He will have to be approved by the remaining owners for the deal to become official.
"My family and I are Cubs fans," Ricketts said in a statement on Thursday night. "We share the goal of Cubs fans everywhere to win a World Series and build the consistent championship tradition that the fans deserve."
Dennis Culloton, a spokesman for Tom Ricketts, confirmed to The Associated Press that the bid is worth about $900 million and will include Wrigley Field and a 25 percent interest in a regional sports network.
As much as I was hoping that Mark Cuban would become the new owner, hopefully Tom Ricketts will stop at nothing to ensure that the Cubs end their Championship Drought.
The Cubs finally have an owner that cares about winning.
