Can MLB Dinosaurs learn new tricks?

Is it just me, or is MLB turning the possibility of a Mark Cuban owned Cubs into more drama than it ever should be. They are acting like Vince McMahon wants to buy the team and start the XMLB.
Mark Cuban may be a controversial figure, but he is also a smart business man. Any Controversy he would start would be defending his team. Instead they are treating him like the second coming of Marge Schott.

Most Casual Baseball fans know George Steinbrenner because he is one of the "Billionaire Bad Guys" in baseball. Outside of Steinbrenner the average person cannot name another owner of a franchise. This is where Cuban being part of the franchise could be the one of the best things to happen to baseball in a long time. Mark Cuban has the Jerry Jones like power to make people both love and hate him at the same time.... The "Anti-Hero"
Let me explain- And because I am a loser, I will use a cartoon as an example
The T-Rex in the photo above is a Transformer named Grimlock. He is loud, and has a bad personality...but he is on the same side as the good guys. The problem is that not many of the good guys like him because of his abrasive personality, and the fact he would rather fight than have a civil conversation. Yet, when there is a bigger, stronger villain in the scene...Grimlock is the guy they want fighting along side them.
It’s the same way in Sports: We are irritated by Jones until the Cowboys play the Patriots; we might dislike Cuban....but would love him if the Cubs beat the "Big Payroll" Yankees or "Better then you" Red Sox in the World Series.
I will end with this,
Baseball needs the Cubs to hold the NL fan base in their region; just like it needs the Braves, Dodgers, Reds and Mets. The only way they will continue to do that is to quit being the Lovable Losers and get a sense of Pride back in Wrigley.
