Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:12:12 GMT

Those “Sell the team” signs seen at Guaranteed Rate Field the last two seasons haven’t persuaded Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf to take the advice of disgruntled Chicago White Sox fans.Asked during a meeting with selected reporters Thursday why he won’t sell the team, the 87-year-old Reinsdorf had a ready answer.“I’m going to couch this so nobody writes that I thought of selling,” Reinsdorf said. “Friends of mine have said: ‘Why don’t you sell? Why don’t you get out?’ My answer always has been: ‘I like what I’m doing, as bad as it is, and what else would I do?’“I’m a boring guy. I don’t play golf. I don’t play bridge. And I want to make it better before I go.”Reinsdorf is part of a group that has owned the Sox since 1981. They have won one championship in that span, in 2005, the only year they’ve won a playoff series during his regime. The clamor for Reinsdorf to s...
