Game-Changer: Pohlad Family Announces They Will Explore Selling Twins
https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-changer-pohlad-family-announces-they-will-explore-selling-twins-r17203/
Because there are bigger/wealthier sports markets than the Twin Cities, my questions are: will they stay or will they move; and what sort of ownership structure will ultimately take control? Will some or another investment fund/equity capital firm will buy it, strip it of all assets, and leave the rest to bankruptcy court? There was a suggestion many years ago that the club be "contracted" (eliminated) as part of a move to make baseball "more efficient" by eliminating its small markets.
