White Sox spokesman issues following statement: “Despite any reports to the contrary, as a member of Major League Baseball’s Executive Council as well as the Ownership Committee, Jerry Reinsdorf intends to allow the sale of the New York Mets to proceed as appropriate ....

through MLB’s approval process before making any personal determination on the proposed new ownership group. Every party involved in this transaction deserves full consideration before a final decision is made.”

Context for this is that NYDN reported Reinsdorf was anti-Cohen. We heard the same from sources. Reached out to Sox this AM to offer him chance to comment, and response came in just now.
