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.
Shelton talked with MLB Network at the Winter Meetings, admitted he's still learning about his new players, and talked about what he wants the identity of the team to be.
Minnesota's offseason officially began 67 days ago and the Twins are heading into the winter meetings next week, reportedly still mulling over how they want to operate this offseason.
The Twins shipped off 10 of the 26 players on their major-league roster leading up to the trade deadline. Royce Lewis admitted in a conversation with MLB Network he wasn't sure if he too would be traded.
