MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Jim Pohlad envisions his family owning the Minnesota Twins for the next 20 years and beyond.
Pohlad talked to reporters Friday at length for the first time since his father Carl died last month. Jim Pohlad says long-term family ownership is “certainly our goal.”
Jim Pohlad has been the point man for the family on Twins operations for several years. He said “there is a huge gap, a huge hole” without his father around.
Jim Pohlad says he discussed the ownership with his brothers, Bill and Bob, in the wake of their father’s death, and they reached a consensus that they want to keep the team in the family.
Carl Pohlad bought the team in 1984 and the Twins won two World Series during his time as owner.
