In what could be a game-changing move for the Chicago White Sox, owner Jerry Reinsdorf is reportedly in “active discussions” to sell the franchise to a group led by former MLB pitcher Dave Stewart, according to Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic. While details remain sparse on the progress or likelihood of the sale, the potential for new ownership is generating huge buzz across the league. Reinsdorf, who has been the White Sox’s principal owner since 1981, would leave behind a legacy mixed with highs and lows—most notably, the team’s 2005 World Series win and, more recently, some rough seasons that left fans calling for change.
If Stewart’s group takes over, it could usher in a fresh era for the franchise, with potential changes to the roster, management, and overall direction of the team. For fans and players alike, this shake-up represents both an opportunity and a turning point. Will Reinsdorf finally pass the torch, or are we witnessing just another chapter in the White Sox’s long-standing story? Only time will tell.
