Dave Stewart buys the team, and keeps it in Chicago, but is still the same bad baseball executive he was in Arizona.
It would be historic for Stewart to buy the White Sox.
Owners like the Mets Steve Cohen, who he tried to keep out of his MLB owners’ group (like he did with Mark Cuban), probably don’t help either

I would welcome Dave Stewart as the White Sox new owner if it comes to fruition. Becoming the 1st Black MLB owner would be great for all
He also was not very good when he was splitting power with La Russa in Arizona. This could be switching out one bad owner for another.
This turns out to be nothing.
Jerry could indeed decide to sell after getting blocked in his efforts to get the city and the state to finance most of his dream of a new ballpark at the 78. He might also be tired of how his joint television venture with the Chicago Blackhawks, the Chicago Sport Network, is flailing in its debut.
The programming is fine. The issue is getting Comcast to run it on all of the Xfinity packages along with landing a deal with Hulu and Fubo.
This is the guy who said last year he is not interested in selling despite nearing 90 because he would have nothing else to do. Local sports talk station 670 the Score reached to sources to confirm the Athletic's reporting and have been told there is nothing there.
.@LaurenceWHolmes shares what several sources told him after a report emerged that Jerry Reinsdorf is open to selling the White Sox.

"There's a lot of possible angles here," Spiegs points out.

If Jerry decides to keep the team and wait for his heirs to sell, it means fans might have to be more careful with asking for a sale.
