Video: A Message to Joe Pohlad

[Tom Froemming]

My message to Minnesota Twins owner Joe Pohlad: Take advantage of this unique opportunity that has presented itself or you're gonna regret it. The Twins currently project to have a payroll $35 million less than last season, but there are still three big time free agents available on the market in Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. Adding one of them would push this team over the top and give the franchise an opportunity to win over and create new life-long Twins fans.

Yes please, preferably Snell or Montgomery.

I may be wrong here, but I got the sense that Joe was behind the signing of CC to the long term deal.  If so, why the hesitancy now to take the next step (free agent wise)?  Why not put the pedal to the metal?  Is there something in the background we don't know about, or does he/they feel that confident in the young guys coming up?  

Standing pat usually means one of two things; either they are that sure of what they have put together already, or they are saving their money for something else.  I am intrigued about the next move.........or lack of it.  😏

My guess is Joe Pohlad (not "the owner" BTW...the "executive chair") got his ears boxed for spending too much in 2023, and the family took back more profit for 2024.

Win a World Series and you gain a million fans, sell a ton of merchandise- Nationally - and make more $$ long term - including better TV rights!

Do nothing and pinch penmies??

Lose longtime fans and fade back into obscurity and retraction. Grow a pair!
