Twins owner Carl Pohlad has passed away at the age of 93. Pohlad owned the team for almost 25 years and led them to two World Series wins during his tenure (thank you Kirby Puckett and Dan Gladden).

No word yet on whether Timothy Busfield will now request to be released from his contract and whether through inheritance, Pohlad passed ownership of the team onto his 13-year-old grandson, a picture of him below:
