Minnesota Twins set to be sold by Opening Day 2025 amid ownership shift: Report

The future of the Minnesota Twins could be decided sooner rather than later. The Midwest club has been made available for sale and has already had several potential buyers interested. According to an anonymous source close to the situation, there is a realistic chance that the team could have a new owner or ownership group as soon as Opening Day.

The source told The Athletic that several interested buyers view the Minnesota Twins as a good team that could be bought for a reasonable price. Although the list of potential buyers remains private, there will undoubtedly be some interesting candidates that have already started to be vetted by MLB.

The Twins are an interesting organization given the talent on the roster with players such as Royce Lewis, Matt Wallner and Brooks Lee showing star potential. The club is based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area with a population of close to half a million people, which could help support the team.

The Pohlad family, which has owned the Minnesota Twins since 1984, announced that they were open to exploring the potential sale of the club. If the family sells, they would follow in the footsteps of the Baltimore Orioles, who were sold last year.

While it could take some time to decide before the team's next owner is announced, it could be a major step forward for the franchise. Steve Cohen took control of the New York Mets in 2020 and has used his wealth to make the club one of the top in baseball, signing superstars such as Juan Soto and Justin Verlander since becoming the team's owner. It will be interesting to see where the future leads them.

The Minnesota Twins will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2024 campaign

Luckily for whoever becomes the new owner of the Minnesota Twins, the team has plenty of the proper pieces in place to compete in 2025. Last season, Minnesota was a strong team but ultimately failed to secure a playoff berth, posting an 82–80 record. The club will look to improve that record and look closer to its 2023 form, which helped it secure the division title.

Although the team has been relatively quiet this offseason, it could threaten the division crown again this upcoming season if it has some good luck in terms of health. Last year, stars such as Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis all missed time with various injuries. If the team can remain on the field, it should be a contender in 2025, new owner or not.
