Minnesota Twins to be put up for sale by Pohlad family
The Pohlad family has owned the team since 1984.

Family has held since 1984.
Good for baseball and Twins fans.
The Pohlad family -- Carl's been dead a while -- was the guy who volunteered to contract his team with the Expos, which was always ridiculous.
Minnesota, Detroit, Seattle are like always leaning into the "Small market" non-sense when they're in bigger markets than 10 to 13 other markets.
Markets like San Diego, who signed three guys to $300 million contracts and St. Louis, who's second all-time in championships.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins have had semi-dynasties. The Detroit Red Wings had a semi-dynasty or 20 years of excellence. There's really no excuse for their baseball teams to not be financially competitive. Have you MET anyone from Minnesota? It's not a fan support problem, it's owners just pocketing profits instead of spending to win.
