Twins Ownership Situation Takes Unlikely Turn

The Minnesota Twins are no longer for sale, a move that comes after 10 months on the market. The Pohlad family announced Wednesday morning that they will retain majority control of the team and partner with two new groups of minority investors.

Chairman Joe Pohlad expressed his confidence in the team’s future, stating there is alignment on its direction and belief in baseball’s potential in Minnesota. However, fans were left feeling disappointed by a broken promise of alignment made earlier this season.

The news was shared by fans who were still reeling from the team’s trade deadline moves. A fan told me that she was devastated after seeing former Twins pitcher Jhoan Duran join the Philadelphia Phillies and celebrate with his new teammates to “El Incomprendido” by Puerto Rican rapper Farruko, a move that felt like a loss for Minneapolis.
