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.
