Minnesota Twins, Wild and Craig Leipold
Digest more
The Twins ushered in a new era of ownership on Wednesday, revealing the identities of those who will join the Pohlad family in team ownership after a 14-month process that initially began with an exploration of a team sale.
The family of a New York diamond trader, a Minnesota investment manager and a National Hockey League team owner are all new minority owners of the Twins, joining the Pohlad family’s decades-long quest to sustain a championship-level — and profitable — Major League Baseball organization.
Tom Pohlad, the current executive chair of Pohlad Companies, will succeed his brother, Joe Pohlad, as the baseball team’s executive chair and replace his uncle, Jim Pohlad, as the primary liaison to MLB. Jim Pohlad had handed over day-to-day operations to Joe Pohlad before the 2023 season.
The Twins finally revealed the identities of their new limited partners and also shook up the ownership structure. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.
