TWINS DAILY INVESTIGATES: Just How Many Pohlads Are There?

Not only did the Twins finally reveal their minority partners this week, they also announced that Tom Pohlad would assume the role of the ownership group’s Executive Chair, previously held by his younger brother, Joe.

Beyond the Succession-esque family drama, this led many observers to ask two questions:

1. There’s a Tom Pohlad?
2. Just how many Pohlad brothers and sons are there?

In the interest of public service and because it’s not like they’re going to give us a new free-agent signing to write about, Twins Daily did some shoe-leather reporting to suss out just how many Pohlads are out there. Here’s what we know, as of Friday, December 19th, 2025.

CONFIRMED POHLADS

• Joe: Former Executive Chair, accidentally gave honest answer to Jason DeRusha.
• Tom: Current Executive Chair, has yet to give accidentally honest answer to Jason DeRusha.
• Bill: Hollywood producer and director. If your annoying hipster friend has a cult band or troubled musical genius they won’t shut up about, Bill has directed that biopic. Kind of looks like William H. Macy.
• Jim: Little is known about him. Feels like, with his wealth, he should go by either James (classy, elegant) or Jimmy (renegade bad boy, spends office hours at a bar that only takes cash).

LIKELY POHLADS

• Bob: Wikipedia says he’s one of the three brothers who inherited the team from Carl and Eloise Pohlad. He’s listed on the Twins website. But no one can confirm with 100% certainty that he’s real.
• Percival Edgar: Sent to boarding school in London in 1968 and just never left. Fancies himself a real English dandy, given to wearing a pocketwatch and riding one of those tall bikes everywhere. Faints a lot. Tubercular.

UNCONFIRMED POHLADS

• Li'l Mike: The hip-hop Pohlad. From the mean streets of Deephaven, Li'l Mike is allegedly releasing his debut single “Commercial Real Estate (Over-leveraged)” in February 2026. Has an MBA from Cornell.
• Tony: Quit Stanford in his junior year to get into improv comedy. Is not currently in will.
• Theo: Vampire with a kind heart.
• Connor: Aspiring Tik-Tok/Reels influencer. His most popular clip, “How to Know If Your Butler is Defiant,” has over 500 views.

We will continue our exhaustive investigation, and update this post accordingly. But, you know, billionaires. If any of the unconfirmed Pohlads disappear from the list, assume they are very real and that we've been threatened with legal action.

In answer to your headline - TOO MANY

Why are all the Pohlad heirs male? Is it through selective abortions or are they drowning all the female heirs in the river?

When are they finally going to give Theo a chance? Late night games. Draining the energy out of opponents. Redefining "bat giveaways." I'd buy tickets for that.

"Faints a lot." I do believe that is called "The Vapours", I do declare...

Got a good smile.  Thanks.

But you missed several Pohlad's.  Tom and Joe have another brother, Chris, who doesn't appear to have any involvement with the Twins.  Although it is difficult to even find their names, I believe several of the grandchildren are girls.

Rabbits. . . . just like rabbits.

This made my day, lol, didn't even have to read the article.

[CRF]

I think Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo, and Gummo are still out there. 

[Craig Arko]

42. Most of them clones.

[TheLeviathan]

Adam Pohlad - Currently redoing 3rd grade by the sheer force of billionaire money buying special privileges so he can "earn" his chance to run the Twins once he finished his high school education.  Side antics with penguins included.

Jimbo.

Now that i've thought it, i can't unthink it...

"Duncan Pohlad from the clan Pohlad, and i'm immoral... er immortal... There can be only one!"

(And i figure more people would get that than some obscure kind hearts and coronets reference, although i suppose it's a toss up between Sean Connery and Alec Guinness as the better role model for the young Pohlad...)

Oh, the irony of the filthy wealthy and aspiring oligarchs:

Having too many kids spreads the wealth and increases the chance of having a few turn out to be movie and record producers or hippies.

[The Great Hambino]

This family is an excellent argument for an estate tax of 100%

This is the year I'm finally taking the pregame tour with Clyde. I sincerely do want to see the real Twins Mission Control Center with hologram Carl controlling the purse strings.
