Is the whole ownership and pending sale thing going to put any restrictions on the amount of money the Cubs can spend this off season?

It didn't last offseason. If anything, the Tribune may care less about long-term contracts since they won't have to pay them. I'd imagine prospective ownership groups aren't happy about being given these long committments to players they can't do anything about, but that's what you have to deal with if you want the franchise.
