White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf reportedly in discussions about selling team after historically bad season

After the worst season in Major League Baseball history, Jerry Reinsdorf is apparently seriously contemplating selling the Chicago White Sox.

Reinsdorf is open to the idea and in active discussions with a potential buyer for the White Sox, according to The Athletic’s Brittany Ghiroli. It’s unclear how far those discussions — reportedly with a group led by former player, coach and executive Dave Stewart — have progressed.

Reinsdorf purchased the White Sox for about $20 million in 1981, which makes him the second-longest active owner in the league behind only the Steinbrenner family, who own the New York Yankees.
