BRIDGEPORT — Diane Mack and her husband bought a bigger home in Bridgeport for the couple and their two kids last summer. The corner building at 2878 S. Throop St. on a largely residential stretch was previously a funeral home and featured one long hall as its first floor.

BRIDGEPORT — Longtime White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf has agreed on a plan to have local billionaire Justin Ishbia eventually buy the team. Reinsdorf, 89, said in a Thursday statement he’s reached a “long-term agreement” with Ishbia, 47, to potentially sell him a controlling stake of the White Sox by the end of the 2034 season. The agreement gives Reinsdorf the option to sell his controlling interest to Ishbia between 2029 and 2033.
