If the White Sox leave Bridgeport, their home for over a century, the emotional toll on the area would be “heartbreaking” and “devastating,” businesses said Tuesday.

“Bridgeport and the White Sox just go together, they always did,” said Carrie Stegniller, a manager, bartender and server at Turtle’s Bar and Grill, a block north of the ballpark.
