Billionaire Justin Ishbia recently abandoned his pursuit of purchasing the Minnesota Twins to instead increase his minority stake in the White Sox, Jon Greenberg of The Athletic reported Friday.

The Minnesota Twins hoped Justin Ishbia was going to buy the team only for him to spurn them for the Chicago White Sox.

The Minnesota Twins are stuck in neutral as they search for a new owner. With the leading candidate dropping out, their directionless winter continues into spring.

As the rumors of a Twins sale continue, Justin Ishbia, co-owner of the Phoenix Suns with his brother Mat, will not pursue the team.

Chicago-area billionaire Justin Ishbia has dropped his pursuit of the Twins and will “instead buy more shares from other limited partners to increase his existing minority stake” in the White Sox
