The four-month mystery about who joined the Pohlad family in Twins ownership was finally answered Wednesday, and it included one change in family leadership.
Tom Pohlad will succeed his brother Joe overseeing the Twins organization, and, pending Major League Baseball approval, he will succeed his uncle Jim as the franchise’s control person to serve as the primary liaison to MLB.
The principal minority investors are Glick Family Investments and George G. Hicks, along with prominent Minnesota business leaders. Craig Leipold, who is the majority owner of the Minnesota Wild, is joining independently as a limited partner.
Hicks and Glick Family Investments are acquiring non-controlling, minority stakes in the Twins while the Pohlad family retains the control of the ownership group.
Tom Pohlad addressed media members Wednesday afternoon at Target Field.
