The biggest news in Chicago sports was not the Bulls beating the 76ers recently, but rather that the Sox might have a new majority owner in coming decades. Justin Ishbia is no longer pursuing owning the Twins. Instead he and his brother, Mat are buying up some of the minority shares in the White Sox.

Of course, the local media has the sale taking place sooner rather than later. The Sox media relations has denied that any such minority interest purchase is going to lead to the Bros. assuming control anytime soon.

There a ton of fun rumors floating which is entertaining. What we know is the brothers have pumped a ton of money into the Phoenix Suns with nothing to show for it. Which isn’t to say an owner that spends money foolishly wouldn’t be a nice change for Chicago-especially the Sox.

As one who lives with 2 miles of Ishbia’s new estate (still under construction), I’ll be the first to suggest the Sox will vacate the Rate in favor of nice lakefront property in Winnetka. The parking and traffic will be a nightmare on Sheridan Road, but I can make the trek to see the Blue Jays twice a season.

Unfortunately, none of this pie in the sky news will make the 2025 Sox a better team. I’m curious if there will be more “Sell the team” signs in April. While all this is happening, the Cubs are 6-0 in ST, on their way to a 133-29 regular season record.
