Tom Pohlad has stepped down from his role as chairman of Pohlad Companies to solely focus on replacing his brother, Joe Pohlad, as the executive chair of the Minnesota Twins.

The Pohlad family, which has owned the Minnesota Twins for four-plus decades, is reportedly in the final stages of selling a 20% stake in the franchise.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Twins and Bell have agreed to a one-year contract. How much money the Twins are paying Bell hasn't been disclosed.
