Oct 2016

The Cubs are owned by the Ricketts family.

Some members of the Ricketts family pledged money to Trump for the general after supporting Trump's opponents in the primaries. The Ricketts are certainly mostly Republicans, but whether they are "big Trump supporters" is another question.

The active owner, Tom Ricketts, hasn't publicly endorsed anyone as far as I can tell.

Do you have other information?
