Overview
- The pending minority partnership still requires MLB approval, with investors described as based in Minnesota and on the East Coast and with details not yet disclosed.
- The new capital is expected to pay down a significant portion of liabilities and create room for payroll and Target Field investment, according to the Star Tribune interview.
- The family explored an outright sale beginning late last year at a reported valuation near $1.7 billion before deciding to retain control.
- After falling out of contention in 2025, the Twins traded about 10 major-league players, including Jhoan Duran to the Phillies, Griffin Jax to the Rays and Carlos Correa to the Astros with Minnesota retaining $33 million.
- Revenue pressures included MLB-run broadcasts in 2025 after the local RSN deal lapsed and attendance of roughly 1.8 million, down from nearly 2.0 million in 2024, alongside cost cuts that reduced the pro scouting staff.
