Justin Ishbia has shifted his focus from acquiring the Minnesota Twins to potentially increasing his minority stake in the Chicago White Sox. This change comes amid speculation that it could improve his future ownership prospects. The White Sox clarified that Ishbia's offer would not affect the team's operational control, which remains under Jerry Reinsdorf's authority. Currently valued at $2.05 billion, the Sox are exploring options for a new stadium.

The Sox faced an early setback in the Cactus League with right-hander Prelander Berroa experiencing elbow discomfort in his first game. Meanwhile, all 30 players on the 40-man roster have agreed to terms ahead of the season. The baseball community recently mourned the loss of Eddie Fisher, a former All-Star pitcher for the Sox.
