Last week it was reported that Jerry Reinsdorf was \"open to selling\" the Chicago White Sox and was engaged in talks with a group of prospective buyers, including former Major League pitcher Dave Stewart.

Stewart has spent the last several years focused on bringing a team to Nashville.

For his part, Rob Manfred is downplaying the possibility of the White Sox leaving the city of Chicago.

\"Chicago is an anchor city for us,\" the commissioner said. \"I think that the White Sox are in a difficult situation. I think the location of the stadium is tough, but I have confidence that things are going to work out in Chicago and that we\'re going to continue to have two teams in Chicago.\"

chicago is one of the biggest markets in north america. they're not going anywhere. the league would seize the team from Jerry before letting it move anywhere else.
