Joe Pohlad named Twins Exec Chair

Twins Chair Jim Pohlad is "stepping away from the day-to-day oversight of the team" and is "promoting his nephew, Joe Pohlad," to Exec Chair. Joe Pohlad has worked in the Twins' organization since 2007, "spending time in a variety of departments to prepare himself for a leadership role." He has "worked in baseball operations and marketing and oversaw the Twins' recent rebranding and unveiling of new uniforms." Twins President Dave St. Peter and President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey "will report directly to Joe Pohlad." Jim Pohlad will "remain the Twins' controlling owner and will continue to work as a liaison" with MLB (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 11/28).
