According to multiple reports, the Minnesota Twins are being sold. The Pohlads have a buyer and the deal should be worked out fully over the next few days.
No changes to the front office or to the coaching staff are expected. The new ownership group wants the transition to be as smooth as possible.
The Pohlad family have owned the Minnesota Twins since 1984 when Carl Pohlad bought the team from Calvin Griffith. After Carl’s death in 2009, control of the team went to Jim Pohlad.
The news will be music to the ears of many fans who have become discontented with the longtime owners.
