Reinsdorf Open to Selling White Sox Amid Challenges

Jerry Reinsdorf, the 88-year-old owner of the Chicago White Sox, is reportedly open to selling the team, marking a significant shift from his previous stance. He is in active discussions with a group led by former MLB player Dave Stewart, who is also looking to bring a team to Nashville. This follows a historically poor season for the White Sox, who set a modern record for losses with a 41-121 record. Reinsdorf has faced resistance in his efforts to secure funding for a new stadium in Chicago, which could be a factor in his decision to sell. Despite owning about 19% of the White Sox, Reinsdorf has been known for his reluctance to sell, preferring to keep the NBA's Chicago Bulls within the family. The potential sale is part of a larger trend in MLB, with the Minnesota Twins also exploring a sale.
