It was a shocking change in direction, even for the Pohlads, and went against what MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told us one month ago. Instead of selling, the Pohlads will welcome two new minority investors, who are being brought in to help pay down the $400+ million the Twins have accrued in debt.

The team’s massive debt, falling attendance, and high asking price made selling the franchise nearly impossible, according to a report.

Minnesota Twins fans balked on Wednesday as news spread about the Pohlad family's decision to remain the team's principal owner, a change up from a previous announcement regarding their intent to sell it.
