The Pohlad family, who have owned the Minnesota Twins since 1984, announced they are exploring the sale of the franchise after 40 years of stewardship. The decision follows a disappointing end to the Twins' 2024 season, where they finished with an 82-80 record, missing the playoffs, and facing criticism for a $30 million payroll reduction. The family expressed their intent to find a new ownership group that will maintain the team's legacy and connection to the Minnesota community. The Twins, valued at approximately $1.46 billion, won World Series titles in 1987 and 1991 under the Pohlads' ownership. This potential sale marks a significant change, as the team has only been owned by the Griffiths and Pohlads since its inception in 1901. The family has retained Allen & Company to assist with the sale process.
