Mat and Justin Ishbia Eyeing Purchase of Minnesota Twins
In a recent report by Bloomberg, it has been revealed that billionaire brothers Mat and Justin Ishbia, owners of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, are considering a bid to purchase the Minnesota Twins. The Twins, who have been under the ownership of the Pohlad family since 1984, are valued at an impressive $1.46 billion.
Background on Twins Ownership
The Pohlad family has a long-standing history with the Twins franchise, having led the team to two World Series titles during their tenure. However, in a statement released by team chairman Joe Pohlad in October, it was announced that the family is exploring the possibility of selling the team. This decision comes after 40 years of dedication, passion, and commitment to the Twins organization.
Ownership Transition and Impact on Fans
As the Twins navigate this period of transition, fans are left wondering about the future of their beloved team. The Ishbia brothers, known for their success with the Phoenix Suns, are poised to bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the Twins if their bid is successful. With their combined experience and resources, Mat and Justin Ishbia could potentially usher in a new era for the Twins franchise.
Uncertainty Ahead of the Upcoming Season
Despite the interest expressed by the Ishbia brothers, a new ownership group for the Twins is not expected to be in place by the start of the upcoming season, according to The Athletic. This leaves fans and players alike in a state of anticipation and uncertainty as they await further developments in the ownership transition process.
Looking Ahead
As the Twins embark on this journey of change and transition, one thing remains certain – the unwavering support and dedication of their loyal fan base. Whether under the ownership of the Pohlad family or potentially the Ishbia brothers, the Minnesota Twins will continue to hold a special place in the hearts of fans across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and beyond. The future may be uncertain, but one thing is clear – the spirit of the Twins will endure, no matter who takes the reins.
