The potential sale of the Twins has seemingly been in the background of most of their moves over the last year, and that is why Wednesday&#8217;s announcement from the family comes as a major surprise. The Pohlad family\u00a0announced\u00a0that they are remaining the principal owners of the Twins moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>This certainly wasn&#8217;t the outcome most fans expected, but there is a wrinkle to the Pohlad family remaining the principal owners. The family will\u00a0be adding two limited partnership groups\u00a0to the ownership structure of the Twins.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><em>&#8220;To strengthen the club in a rapidly evolving sports landscape \u2013 one that demands strong partnerships, fresh ideas, and long-term vision \u2013 we are in the process of adding two significant limited partnership groups, each of whom will bring a wealth of experience and share our family values.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Twins ownership drama ends with Pohlad Family\u2019s surprise decision<\/h2>\n<p>The status of a potential sale of the Twins has been a talking point since it was revealed during the offseason that Justin Ishbia was walking away from his potential deal to buy the team. In the time since, Ishbia has\u00a0entered a long-term agreement with the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The decision from the Pohlad family is also an indictment of how the front office has operated before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Dating back to the deadline of last season, it seemed that Derek Falvey and company were avoiding taking on any large contracts, despite the Twins having a clear path to the postseason last season at the deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">This year, dumping Carlos Correa&#8217;s salary on the Houston Astros felt like final confirmation that the Pohlad family was getting ready to abandon ship.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Now, at least, the impression is that Falvey will be allowed to oversee the rebuild of the Twins at the Major League roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Twins have also already exercised the option in Rocco Baldelli&#8217;s contract for the 2026 season. In other words, the sweeping changes that many Twins fans were hoping for won&#8217;t be happening this offseason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pohlad Family\u2019s change of heart keeps Twins under same ownership 2024 Minnesota Twins Spring Training | Brace Hemmelgarn\/GettyImages After the\u00a0fire sale at the MLB trade deadline, the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":77657,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
