Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, indicated Monday on Fox Sports Radio that he was interested in buying the Chicago Cubs.

“I’m going to try, but that’s all I can say,” Cuban told the radio station.  “They made it real clear that I can’t comment on anything.  Otherwise I would.  But I had fun, I was at the game the other night, it was a great comeback.  That should tell you where my heart’s at.”

The Tribune Company has had the club up for sale for the last year.

Cuban purchased the Mavericks in 2000 and has been rumored to be interested in buying his hometown Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL.
