White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf reportedly open to selling the team amid 2024 season struggles
The last few seasons have not been kind to Jerry Reinsdorf and the Chicago White Sox. While it was supposed to be their championship window, they have done nothing but struggle.
While not much was expected from them this season, the White Sox were the worst team in the MLB by far. They finished with a record-setting 41-121 record. Now, Reinsdorf is reportedly looking for a way out.
It has been reported by The Athletic that Resindorf is potentially open to selling the club. Fans have long been asking for this, so if this is true, there may be a parade on the south side of Chicago.
Many fans have been critical of how Reinsdorf has handled his role and the limited spending the club has done over the years. They have missed out on countless superstars with their cheap contracts.
Jerry Reinsdorf is the second-longest active owner in the MLB
Jerry Reinsdorf has been the owner of the White Sox for quite a while. He purchased the club in 1981 for roughly $20 million and is currently the second-longest active owner in the MLB. The only other owner who has spent more time in the league is the Steinbrenner family with the New York Yankees.
If Reinsdorf does sell the club, it would be a huge shake-up. There is no telling who may come in to replace Reinsdorf or what their plan of action would be.
Either way, it would be hard for somebody to do a worse job than Reinsdorf did in 2024. The roster more resembled a minor league squad than one that should be competing for a division championship.
There are no details on how serious Reinsdorf is about selling, so MLB fans will want to keep a close eye on this as more details emerge.
