Tribune mistakenly puts $301K into news carrier's account

It seems to me that the Tribune Co. could kill two birds with one stone by putting this news carrier in the Cubs' rotation.

From the Hartford Courant:

The money was supposed to go into the account of Mark Guthrie, the former Cubs relief pitcher. Instead, it went to former Hartford Courant news carrier Mark Guthrie. "Nearly a year later, $26,000 is still in the deliveryman's account and the Cubs want it back," writes Kim Martineau. "They've had a lawsuit pending against Guthrie since February, but in legal papers filed last month, the ball club offered to drop the suit if he simply pays up."
