MINNEAPOLIS – One of Tom Pohlad’s priorities over his first month as controlling owner of the Minnesota Twins was personal phone calls to fans on a list of 50 people who have yet to renew season tickets for 2026.

Many of his attempts went to voicemail. One recipient hung up three times, assuming a prank, before replying to Pohlad’s follow-up text message with some pointed criticism about the direction of the franchise.
