Hey everybody, it's Chuck Arfine.

This is the White Sox Talk podcast.

Brought to you, as always, by our great friends at WinTrust.

So with their lease at guaranteed rate field set to expire after the 2029 season. The White Sox are looking

at their stadium options for the future. And the Chicago Sun Times dropped a bombshell on

Wednesday night reporting that the White Sox are in serious negotiations to build a brand new

ballpark at a site known as the 78 at Roosevelt Road and Clark Street in the South Loop.

This plot of land is closer to downtown, about a mile and a half away from the Willis Tower.

It hugs part of the Chicago River, and you could build a stadium with breathtaking views of the

Chicago skyline. As an idea, it sounds like a grand slam. But what has to happen to make this

become a reality? On the podcast, I speak with Tim Novak, one of the three Chicago Sun-Times writers

who broke the story. We're going to talk about the 78 location, where things stand in negotiations.

What has to happen for this to actually be built? What would a park at this site mean for the White Sox?

And who's going to pay for it?

A lot to discuss.

And then later, I'll share some thoughts on our previous podcast about Yassil Pueig.

But first, build it and they will come.

The White Sox, new field of dreams. That's next.
