That makes me wonder. If the Bears end up passing on the Northwest Indiana site – I wonder if the Sox might be tempted to use it? Lots of Illinois folks have moved over that way and the South Shore has that new rail line extension. And... those tax breaks.

I hope not. I absolutely loathe the idea of the Bears playing Hammond, and I think I would hate the idea of the Sox playing there even more. I think even if it were solely Jerry's call (which it's not), he wouldn't even consider it which is saying something since I'm sure the land is cheap. "Southside" is probably the most significant part of our identity (even have it on our alternate uniforms), and you can't really use the Southside brand when you are in Indiana.
Former Sox shortstop Tim Anderson announced his retirement.
For a few years... Tim was something. Good hitter, good speed, had flair and excitement about him.
But his career was pretty much centered around a four year stretch from 2019 through 2022 when he batted .335, .322, .309, and .301 successively. It was all downhill for Tim after that.
As any Sox fan knows, the Sox have had some great shortstops over the years... the best of which being Number 11 (as well as Appling). Anderson was one of the best but it will always seem like he had lots more potential that we will never see developed.
But not a bad career. Thanks, Tim. But it could have been so much more.

Agreed. My gut (and nothing more) is Sox stay pat. It's a good and historical location, and there is soooo much land associated with the park.
Is all the old land still available? Last time around, they build New Comisky across the street from Old Comisky, then tore down Old Comisky. Maybe they could deja vu this thing all over again. And put the right name back on the building!
I think they would be foolish to build at 35th & Shields again
I believe the land at Block 78 is still available ( next to the new soccer stadium . imo , that will allow them to draw a younger more urban fan while not losing there existing fan who simply wants a park officially south of Madison
