The Minnesota Twins experienced a significant disappointment when billionaire Justin Ishbia decided not to pursue ownership of the team. Instead, he opted to increase his stake in the rival Chicago White Sox. This news, reported by Jon Greenberg of The Athletic, has left Twins officials scrambling for a new ownership solution, dashing fans' hopes for Ishbia's financial backing and competitive vision for their team.
"Chicago-area billionaire Justin Ishbia has dropped his pursuit of the Minnesota Twins, The Athletic has learned, and will instead buy more shares from other limited partners to increase his existing minority stake in the Chicago White Sox."
"The news couldn't be worse for Twins fans, who dreamed Ishbia would bring a deep wallet and competitive fire to an organization in need, only to see him stay with a division rival."
