With the trade deadline coming close, the Cubs could become buyers this season. However, a blockbuster deal they're working on may not be legal.

In a 6-1 decision, the Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that raising children to be fans of the Chicago Cubs baseball franchise is "cruel and amoral." The case before the court involved 24-year-old plaintiff Jimmy Benson, who was suing his parents Laura and Gerald for punitive damages stemming from years of being forced to watch and root for the Cubs.

According to Haley Mulaghey, a PR rep for McCormick Place, the venue was recently rented out by Rizzo before Wednesday night’s loss vs the Reds.
