By the way, a cynic might ask why Jeff Ishbia, founder of United Wholesale Mortgage, made son Mat CEO of the nation’s largest home lender. Particularly a cynic who enjoyed the show ‘‘Succession’’ and suddenly is having a hard time separating Justin from the character Kendall Roy.

Ishbia, a part-majority owner of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA, was believed to be a favorite to buy the Twins in 2024. He instead, however shifted his focus to the White Sox, where he and his brother were already minority owners.

Jerry Reinsdorf will have the option to sell his controlling interest in the Chicago White Sox to Justin Ishbia from 2029 to 2033.
