CHICAGO (AP) -- Former Arizona Diamondbacks owner Jerry Colangelo would be interested buying the Chicago Cubs if Tribune Co. puts his hometown franchise up for sale.

Colangelo, chairman of the NBA's Phoenix Suns and former controlling owner of both the Suns and Diamondbacks, said Wednesday he has held "preliminary discussion" with unspecified other people who share his interest in buying the Cubs.

He declined to say whether he had spoken to Tribune Co. or the Cubs about his interest, but said: "You can speculate that"

I guess the move would make sense.

No thanks. We saw how he ran the DBacks into the ground financially. I'd love to see the Cubs sold but I'm not sure he's the right guy. I don't have a better alternative or anything but it just doesn't feel right.
