When are the Twins going to realize that Fox Sports North or Bailey's now, sucks and so many of their fans can't get them on TV?  They need to put so pressure on them to make some deals so the Twins fans can enjoy their games since we can't watch them in person very E-Z!   Plain Stupid!!!

The Twins can certainly "put pressure" on Bally Sports but ultimately, they have little to no leverage to do anything about the situation. The Twins, like most pro sports franchises, sell their broadcasting rights to another company and once that ink is laid to paper, the broadcasting agent has most of the power to exercise those rights as they see fit, as the sports franchise gets paid either way.

 

I'm sure there are clauses that prevent "no broadcast to anyone" but I'm equally sure there is a lot of leeway to drop some providers and grant access to others.

 

Which sucks for consumers. As is the case so often today, we're stuck in the middle of billionaires yelling at each other while we don't get the service we expect.

This is not just a Twins problem. It's an MLB and even NBA and NHL problem.

As Brock mentions, the Twins have their hands tied pretty good here. While we might be suffering right now, there will be long-term ramifications of this stalemate which will certainly benefit the consumers.

Was nice to see Do-Hyoung in the report.

Nick said he wouldn't want to see Arraez at 1B, I was wondering why? Carew was moved there from 2B. I'd like to see him get as many ABs as possible, 1B seems like a good option. I'm just curious about his rationale because management seems to share it.

Nick's opinion probably has a lot to do with Arraez being 5'10".

 

Even Carew, who played in a time when players were much smaller than today, was still 6'0".
