Latest updates hint possible Minnesota Twins sale is still alive

The Minnesota Star Tribune’s Phill Miller reported on Tuesday that the Pohlad family had various potential Minnesota Twins buyers visit Target Field this month, and the sale process is closer to concluding than its beginning. There are no reports on who the potential buyers are.

The Athletic’s Dan Hayes said the Pohlads are sticking with their $1.7 billion asking price for the Twins despite concerns regarding the team’s debt of upwards of $425 million and the loss of broadcast revenue.

Hayes reported the Pohlad family was seeking to sell the Twins on Oct. 10. Billionaire Justin Ishbia was the perceived frontrunner to buy the team, but he backed out to purchase more Chicago White Sox Shares, according to a report from The Athletic’s Jon Greenberg on Feb. 21.

It was announced the Pohlads are seeking $1.7 billion in exchange for the Twins on Mar. 24. Forbes valued the team at $1.5 billion, while CNBC estimated Minnesota is worth $1.65 billion.

Large amounts of Minnesota Twins fans have been wanting the Pohlads to sell the team for awhile

Fans have been clamoring for the Pohlad family to sell the Twins largely due to the lack of offseason spending despite last year’s unexpected late-season collapse that kept them out of the postseason, along with the abysmal start to the 2025 season.

Twins fans’ widespread disdain for the Pohlad family has subsided slightly since Minnesota has revived its season, but many of them still want the team to be sold to someone or a group that is willing to spend money on a larger scale.
