Justin Ishbia, one of the owners of the NBA's Phoenix Suns, had in recent weeks looked like a favorite to buy the Minnesota Twins from the Pohlad family. Instead, it appears that he might be shifting his priorities to becoming the successor of White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf.

The Shore Capital Partners chief has abandoned his pursuit of the Minnesota Twins and will instead increase his existing minority stake in the Sox, the Athletic reports today, citing unnamed sources.
