The sale of the Minnesota Twins has remained stagnant for nearly a year since the Pohlad family announced plans to sell. The delay is largely attributed to Justin Ishbia’s withdrawal from the bidding process for the Twins, as he has prioritized his ownership of the White Sox. Originally seen as a strong candidate for the Twins, Ishbia's pivot caused other bidders to step back. However, interest in the Twins has reportedly surged following this shift and there is confidence that a successful transaction will ultimately take place.
Rob Manfred indicated that the prolonged sale of the Twins was due to Justin Ishbia's decision to pursue ownership of the White Sox instead, impacting other bidders' interest.
Manfred emphasized the interconnectedness within the MLB community, noting that when one potential buyer becomes a frontrunner, others often withdraw due to price concerns.
Despite earlier setbacks, Manfred expressed confidence that there will be a successful transaction for the Twins, reflecting appropriate market pricing.
Interest in purchasing the Twins has reportedly increased since Ishbia shifted focus to the White Sox, suggesting renewed competitiveness among potential buyers.
