Eight MLB Owners Fans Hope Sell as Record Franchise Deals Reshape the League

Following the Padres and Angels selling for a combined $7.9B, based on Forbes valuations (Padres at $3.1B, Angels at $2.8B), the piece names eight MLB owners the author hopes will sell: Castellini (Reds), Nutting (Pirates), Dolan family (Guardians; minority stake now held by David Blitzer with a possible majority by 2027), Monfort (Rockies), Pohlad (Twins), Ilitch (Tigers), John Henry (Red Sox), and Hal Steinbrenner (Yankees). It argues these regimes underperform, misalign with fan interests, or lack urgency, even as the league enjoys blockbuster sales and shifting ownership dynamics.
