Part 4/4:
While Kelly is sad to see the Pohlad family depart, he is hopeful that the new owners will keep the team in Minnesota. With 15 years remaining on the Twins' lease at Target Field, and Hennepin County negotiating to extend it to 20 years, Kelly believes the team is unlikely to relocate.
However, the potential sale price of $1.5 billion presents a significant challenge for any prospective buyers. Kelly's former teammates Joe Mauer and Patrick Reusse joked that they likely don't have the financial resources to purchase the club.
As the Twins' future ownership hangs in the balance, Kelly's stories provide a glimpse into the team's rich history and the relationships he built with the Pohlad family over the decades. While change is on the horizon, the Twins' legacy in Minnesota appears secure.
