The A’s are moving from Oakland to Las Vegas after finding themselves unable to resolve a stadium lease issue with the city. Could the White Sox be the next major league team to relocate? It’s possible, according to a report from Greg Hinz of Crain’s Chicago Business.
With the lease set to expire in six years, team majority owner Jerry Reinsdorf is considering moving the organization from Guaranteed Rate Field in the South Side neighborhood of Bridgeport. A move to Nashville is among the options for the team.
However, there are also options for the White Sox to remain in Chicago with a new stadium in the city or in the suburbs. A move out of Bridgeport is serious enough that one unnamed Chicago developer is preparing a bid, according to Hinz.
