Reinsdorf is essentially out of time. He's 87 years old and, after a couple of decades, just cleaned house and decided to fold. It's an entirely different situation from the Bears ownership, which is a legacy family-run business. The White Sox are not going to get passed down to Jerry's kids. He is essentially washing his hands of the franchise. Considering they only every won a playoff series in a single season during Jerry's ownership (1981-present), I'm sure the Sox fans are elated at the prospects of new ownership as much as they might dread that a new owner will relocate the team.
