Forbes valued the Twins at $168 million in 2004, $605 million in 2014, and $1.47 billion last summer. That’s a lot of money in exchange for not having to hear your family regularly excoriated over the failings of a baseball team.

The Pohlad family recently made waves by announcing they are exploring the possibility of selling the Minnesota Twins. This news stirs up the question: How attractive is this franchise to potential buyers?

Joe Pohlad, the team’s executive chair, said Thursday his family wants “to find an ownership group who all of us can be proud of” but didn’t say whether he’s talked with any prospective buyers. The Pohlads have owned the team for 40 years.
