The Sun Times is reporting that soon to be owner Tom Ricketts is expected to keep the same coaching staff that includes manager Lou Pinella and general manager Jim Hendry.
Tom Ricketts is expected to be in full control as the new owner of the Cubs by the end of October. Bruce Levine is hearing October 15th and David Kaplan sources are indicating 11 days later on October 16th.
Tome Rickett has a lot of payroll to handle with the third highest payroll behind the Yankees and Mets, the payroll stands as of heading into the offseason at $134,809,000.
The Cubs are expected to trade disgruntled Milton Bradley with all the talk of him going to the Giants for Aaron Rowand, or to the Rays for Pat Burrell. The Cubs will most likely have to take on most of his contract if the trade does not off set contracts.
