Twins president of baseball and business operations Derek Falvey spoke with our Darren ‘Doogie’ Wolfson on Thursday, via Zoom.
They touched on the Pohlads decision last week to retain majority ownership, whether the idea is to retain starters Pablo Lopez and Joe Ryan into the 2026 season, and much more.

Falvey noted that top pitching prospects Taj Bradley and Mick Abel, acquired at the trade deadline, will be up with the Twins in the near future. Both are currently in the Triple A-Saints’ starting rotation.
Owner Joe Pohlad announced last week his family’s intention to retain majority control.
“For more than four decades, our family has had the privilege of owning the Minnesota Twins. This franchise has become part of our family story, as it has for our employees, our players, this community, and Twins fans everywhere,” Pohlad said in a news release.
“Over the past several months, we explored a wide range of potential investment and ownership opportunities. Our focus throughout has been on what’s best for the long-term future of the Twins. We have been fully open to all possibilities.
“After a detailed and robust process, our family will remain the principal owner of the Minnesota Twins. To strengthen the club in a rapidly evolving sports landscape – one that demands strong partnerships, fresh ideas, and long-term vision – we are in the process of adding two significant limited partnership groups, each of whom will bring a wealth of experience and share our family values.
“We see and hear the passion from our partners, the community, and Twins fans. That passion inspires us. This ownership group is committed to building a winning team and culture for this region, one that Twins fans are proud to cheer for.”
