Crain's Chicago Business reports White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf could be trying to move or sell the team.
The timeline isn't exactly clear on when or if either a sale or a move out of Guaranteed Rate Field would happen, but the team's lease on the stadium is up in six years.
It appeared as if the team was headed to St. Petersburg, and the Florida state legislature even approved $30 million in state funding to lure the White Sox. "We got the tip that Jerry Reisndorf was coming to town to make the push in private to key Florida legislators about getting this money," Nickens said."There was a lot of excitement back in 1988, because you have to remember that Florida did not have a Major League Baseball team at all."
