My guess is that unless Costa finds another buyer other than Drew and
Joann Weber that nothing will change.  The Spinners and Costa have a
contract and I would expect Costa would abide by it, but of course it
send up a major league (couldn't help myself) red flag to the Spinners
and puts WCAP in a better bargaining position next time around,  this is
all on the assumption that the Spinners don't just buy WCCM which I think
would be a mistake on their part.
