Minnesota Twins owners considering sale of team

The Pohlad Family, owners of the Minnesota Twins, announced Thursday, October 10, that they are exploring the possibility of selling the team. The Pohlad family’s ownership of the team began back in 1984.

“For the past 40 seasons, the Minnesota Twins have been part of our family’s heart and soul,” said Twins Executive Chair Joe Pohlad. “This team is woven into the fabric of our lives, and the Twins community has become an extension of our family. The staff, the players, and most importantly, you, the fans – everyone who makes up this unbelievable organization – is part of that. We’ve never taken lightly the privilege of being stewards of this franchise.”

“We truly respect and cherish what the Twins mean to Minneapolis, St. Paul, the great state of Minnesota, and this entire region,” continued Pohlad. “Our goal is to be as informative as possible with the team, staff, and you, the fans. You deserve that, because in so many ways, this team doesn’t belong to any one family – it belongs to all of you. It’s our objective to find an ownership group who all of us can be proud of and who will take care of the Minnesota Twins.

The Twins fell short of a playoff run for the 2024 season, ending with a 82-80 record.
