Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is considering moving the White Sox from Guaranteed Rate Field when the team’s lease expires in six years, and may also explore selling the team, according to a report in Crain’s Chicago Business.
At a time when Reinsdorf is conducting internal discussions to begin exploring the direction of the team on the field and the front office and field leadership of the team, the 87-year-old chairman who led a limited partnership group that purchased the Sox for $19 million in 1981 is also contemplating the bigger picture for a franchise worth around $2 billion.
