The decision to put the Twins up for sale was one the Pohlad family says it never wanted to make. "We never wanted to sell," said Tom Pohlad, executive chair of the Pohlad Cos. and Joe Pohlad's brother. Joe Pohlad takes part in a news conference on Jan. 11, 2023, at Target Field in Minneapolis. Tom Pohlad said the family never would have tried to sell its controlling stake had those investments been on the table from the get-go. "I think there's an idea that we take money out of the team," Joe Pohlad said.
