Plenty of Cubs fans would love to have him own the team.

But that's not going to happen, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

''There's no way Bud and the owners are going to let that happen. Zero chance," a Major League Baseball source told the paper this week.

The Cubs originally went on sale on Opening Day of the 2007 season, but there has been little movement toward a resolution.

The recent global financial crisis has only stalled it even more as the value of the team and ballpark has dropped from a high of $1 billion.

The source doesn't see a resolution any time soon, telling the paper, "We'll be standing here at next year's GM meetings and this will still be unresolved."

The paper says a group headed by John Canning Jr. is the likely front-runner.
