After 10 months of exploring a sale, the Pohlad family issued a statement that it will retain ownership of the franchise.

This route is about maximizing return on assets before their value dips, and it signals a clear commitment to a multi-year rebuild. This is something the Twins have been reluctant to admit publicly. However, there is a way for the team to get their overall payroll below $100 million if they choose this path.

The Pohlad family said they intend to keep the Twins franchise, a change of heart after previously announcing their intentions to sell the team.
