White Sox and Rays Sweep ALDS Openers as Yankees Collapse on Errors

The 2026 MLB Division Series saw the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays take 2-0 leads after winning Game 2.

Rate Field Owners React to Amtrak Plans and White Sox Move Threats

The Illinois Sports Facilities Authority (ISFA) expressed surprise at Amtrak’s proposal to build a $900 million maintenance facility near Rate Field, while simultaneously facing pressure from White Sox minority owner Justin Ishbia to move the team to a new South Loop stadium. ISFA chair Leslie Darling stated the board was unaware of the Amtrak plans, which would impact stadium parking and access. Ald. Nicole Lee and Cook County Commissioner John Daley urged ISFA to oppose the Amtrak project, citing concerns over traffic, noise, and the potential loss of the White Sox to Bridgeport. Amtrak claims it has an easement to build on ISFA property and will coordinate with stakeholders, while Ishbia’s development company, Canal Edge LLC, has proposed a mixed-use 'Railyards' project in the South Loop. The White Sox lease at Rate Field expires in 2029, with an option for 2030. ISFA did not take formal action on either issue at its September 16 meeting.
