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 Twins are hustling to regroup after learning this week that a leading contender in their search for a new owner has abandoned his bid.

The Athletic reported Friday night that Justin Ishbia, a potential buyer of the Twins, has decided to increase his stake in the rival Chicago White Sox.
