Minnesota Twins Franchise Sale Underway

The Minnesota Twins are in the process of being sold, with reports indicating that there are multiple interested buyers, including former players potentially joining as limited partners. Longtime reporter La Velle E. Neal III suggests that a winning bid may be identified by Opening Day, March 27, although the finalization of the sale could extend into late May or June. Notably, the Ishbia brothers are among the known bidders, but their existing stake in the Chicago White Sox may complicate their purchase of the Twins due to MLB ownership rules. The valuation of the Twins is estimated between $1.46 billion and $1.7 billion, and a multi-round bidding process is anticipated. The Twins have not yet signed any free agents as the new season approaches, raising questions about their strategy going forward. As the situation develops, optimism remains that the sale process will be swift and successful.
