Ban this shift, please: Cubs owners go from crying poor to trying to buy Chelsea FC

I have a logistical question. If you need to have a wheelbarrow full of money sent overseas, is it best to do it via cargo ship or airplane?

I ask because the Ricketts family, owner of the Cubs, reportedly is interested in joining a bid to buy Chelsea FC of the English Premier League, and the price for the iconic franchise could be more than $3 billion. Cubs finance guy Crane Kenney once said, “Basically, my job is fill a wheelbarrow with money, take it to Theo’s office and dump it.” Funny thing, though: That wheelbarrow rarely visited the cubicle of former team president Theo Epstein.
