I don’t think anyone thought it was real close. The story was never that Reinsdorf is selling. The story is that Justin Ishbia is t buying the Twins and the Reinsdorf’s approached him to take a bigger stake instead. Justin Ishbia is the overwhelming favorite to be the next owner of the White Sox at some point. That’s the story.

Jerry doesn't own very much of the team. Under 20% I believe.

He's gotten much more correct on the Sox than he's ever gotten wrong. That trade was done but I believe Matt Foster or the pitcher in return was hurt and Arizona backed out.

Bob Nightengale was on 670 this morning and speculated that Justin Ishbia has close to 40% of the team now.

Bush is absolutely a top 20 prospect in this system. He's just hurt now. This was put together prior to the injury.

Guaranteed money

Are we seriously debating whether guys are busts based on spring training results? This is insane, guys.

I’d think Bryse Wilson is the 5th starter until Thorpe is ready

In relief, yeah. Good to see though

Correct

I just have no reason to believe that a deal is coming.

I'd be pretty surprised if Luis Robert is moved prior to opening day

I’m on their side with Comcast though. Putting them on the higher tier doesn’t help anyone. I can’t believe anybody still uses Xfinity for cable

For sure. Two more high draft picks and a Robert trade return should help though.

If the Sox aren't competitive in 2027, something went really wrong. They have a top 5 system no money on the books going forward. It would be a huge problem if this prospect core ins't in the big leagues to close out 2026 at basically the latest.

Dan Berstein basically said that the Ishbia money will severely decrease the ask from the state in regards to The 78 and there's movement on that front. Said there's no current deal or something for Ishbia to take over but it's obvious that Ishbia isn't dropping Twins just to help the Reinsdorfs build a stadium.

Many people seem to be saying this. I just think when push comes to shove, the owners won't have the stomach to give up the guaranteed money that comes with playing the 2027 season. Even with a prolonged stoppage, a salary cap is never happening so it's a pointless fight.

The White Sox need up the middle players because they're expensive and they'll never pay for them. That shouldn't be a controversial opinion. I also don't think Taylor will be the BPA at 10.

Here's our article by the way: https://www.futuresox.net/2025/02/24/ishbia-brothers-increase-white-sox-in/

He can but he's left field only unfortunately. I'm not sure I'd even take Taylor at #44 Maybe. Wake Forest hitters scare the s%*# out of me in that environment though.

The White Sox pick at 10 and 44 actually. Minor change but wanted to be accurate.

Are we sure that Melody Hobson is involved at all? I think Ishbia will have the majority of the non Reinsdorf shares most likely after this.

I'm not sure about that. Bench of Carson Kelly, Justin Turner, Jon Berti and they need a CF.
