CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox have reached an agreement that will give Birmingham native Justin Ishbia, the brother of Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia, the chance to buy a future controlling interest in the club.

The team made the announcement Thursday, adding that Ishbia will make capital infusions into the White Sox as a limited partner in 2025 and 2026, which will be used to pay down existing debt and support ongoing team operations. Ishbia was already a limited partner. His brother Mat and father Jeff Ishbia will also be “significant investors,” the team said. Justin is the second largest shareholder with the Suns.

Birmingham Seaholm and Michigan State graduates Mat and Justin Ishbia are the primary owners of Pontiac-based United Wholesale Mortgage, founded by their father.
