This isn't the first time the paper was up for sale--and last time, there was a tie to Wellesley. In 2010, Aaron Kushner, 37, planned to make a bid to the New York Times Co. Boston Magazine speculated whether Kushner could save the paper then.

At the time of writing, there are no reports of Kushner looking to repeat his 2010 bid.
