Minnesota Twins Sale Process Resumes After Earlier Pause

October 6, 2026 - 03:20

The Pohlad family is moving forward with plans to sell the Minnesota Twins, according to new reports. The development comes after the family had previously halted the sale process, creating uncertainty about the franchise's future ownership.

Sources indicate that discussions with potential buyers have restarted in recent weeks. The Pohlads, who have owned the team since 1984, initially explored a sale but then pulled back from those efforts. Now, it appears they are once again engaging with interested parties.

The Twins have been a fixture in the American League for decades. Under Pohlad ownership, the team won two World Series titles in 1987 and 1991. In recent years, the franchise has maintained a competitive roster but has struggled to advance deep into the postseason.

Any sale would require approval from Major League Baseball and its owners. The valuation of the team could reach well over one billion dollars, reflecting the rising prices of professional sports franchises across the country.

For fans in Minnesota, the news raises questions about what new ownership might mean for payroll, stadium plans, and the team's long-term direction. The Pohlads have not commented publicly on the latest reports.
