Can MLB Force the Sale of the Minnesota Twins?

Ownership changes in Major League Baseball are rare, but when they do occur, they can bring what appears to be a fresh start, despite the roster remaining largely intact. In Minnesota, frustration with the Pohlad family has reached a breaking point - surveys and chatter among fans suggest that nearly 100% want new ownership to take the reins, and almost 80%, according to a recent article from The Athletic, lay the blame for the Twins' current situation squarely at the feet of the owners. Low attendance, payroll concerns, and years of disappointment have only amplified the calls for a sale - literally and figuratively.
