Chicago White Sox are considering a move from Guaranteed Rate Field, a report says — and possibly out of town

What’s the future for the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. According to a Crain’s Chicago Business report, the Sox are considering a move from the place they’ve called home since 1991 when the team’s lease expires six seasons from now. No decision is imminent, according to the report, which lists a new stadium in the city or suburbs and relocating to Nashville, Tenn., among the possibilities. The article also details that Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf might look to sell the Sox. We have not had any conversations about our lease situation, but with six years remaining, it is naturally nearing a time where discussions should begin to take place,” the Sox said in a statement Monday. “The conversations would be with the city, ISFA (Illinois Sports Facilities Authority) and the state and most likely would be about vision, opportunities and the future. The Sox moved into Guaranteed Rate Field, then named new Comiskey Park, after calling Comiskey Park home from 1910-90. The Sox were close to moving to St. Petersburg, Fla., in the late 1980s, leading to the construction of their current home park.
