"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts responded Wednesday to the criticism Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted about his family, calling the mention by Trump \u201Csurreal.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday, Trump called out the Ricketts family on Twitter for allegedly \u201Csecretly spending\u201D money in opposition of Trump\u2019s campaign. Marlene Ricketts, Tom\u2019s mother, made a $3 million donation to a super PAC that has been campaigning against Trump, according to FEC filings.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt\u2019s a little surreal when Donald Trump threatens your mom,\u201D Ricketts said on Wednesday, according to Yahoo! Sports. \u201CThe fact is...we are pretty much are an open book. We stand up for what we believe in. We support the causes we think are important. That is what America should be. That is who we are.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong &gt;CORCORAN: Spring training preview: National League Central&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the tweet, Trump also mentioned that the Ricketts family should tread carefully in opposing him because they \u201Chave a lot to hide,\u201D a notion Tom Ricketts rejected on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIf we had something to hide, you people would have found it by now,\u201D he said. \u201CI have no idea (what Trump was warning of).\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ricketts spoke to reporters at the Cubs\u2019 spring training facility in Mesa, Ariz., where the team reported Wednesday and will play its first home spring game on Friday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Erin Flynn&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
