At least he was sorry

Why though 😔 I’d buy the Pirates today if I could
Please?
He tried to in 2005 but was told no by Kevin McClatchy. Nutting to over in 2007.
Now I’m sad
Can’t buy something that isn’t for sale
Cuban said he would save the O, he didn’t pull through with that one either.
Also, MLB doesn’t want Cuban as an Owner, UNFORTUNATELY!!!
The idea of Cuban buying the pirates is an urban legend. He has been on record as saying it would be far too hard to make money in this market with baseball’s financial system to make it worth it.
He previously said it’s “not worth becoming the most hated man in Pittsburgh” (paraphrase).
He thinks management does a decent job, and the city is bound to hate anyone who owns the team.
Not a popular opinion here… his words not mine.
Dude lies about everything. He floated buying the Pirates but was never serious.
He did the same thing with the Penguins at one Pont and even said he was going to buy The O Hot dog Shop when it was going under.

Surprise surprise, he never did any of it.
He wanted to, but the other owners shot him down.
