A spokesman for Rudy Giuliani says the former New York City mayor is not interested in buying the Chicago Cubs and remains a diehard New York Yankees fan, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.
Giuliani's firm, Giuliani Partners, had reportedly been seeking to team up with former Cubs' star Ernie Banks and another investment firm to purchase the team. But according to Crain's Chicago Business, Banks met on May 23 with club executives by was rebuffed.
An executive from Giuliani Capital Advisors had a meeting with Banks at Banks' request, according to Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel.
She apparently said that Banks had expressed his interest in the team then, but the firm has not been in touch with him since.
"It just ain't so," she said. "Giuliani Partners is not involved. Giuliani Capital Advisors is not involved."
The Cubs are owned by Tribune Company. Chief executive Dennis FitzSimons has apparently said that the team is not for sale.
The newspaper says that a company spokesman reiterated that position on Sunday.
"As our chairman and CEO has said, the Cubs are not for sale," said spokesman Gary Weitman. "They are a major asset to us."
