Aging owner, succession watch. Entry realistically via a minority stake if offered; build banker relationships now.

Your moves

  1. This year

    Reinsdorf's stated plan is heirs KEEP the Bulls (and sell the White Sox). Don't underwrite a control buy here.

  2. 1–3 yr

    Post-Reinsdorf transition is the only real crack — position through the White Sox process to know the family.

  3. 7–15 yr

    If a next-gen heir consolidates and needs a partner, an LP or partial buy-in becomes the door.
