The fanbase is already out. So there's no real risk of further alienation. And the team...do they seem locked in? 

I'm not saying they should or definitely will. I also don't know that they're gonna try. But they're the ones stressing about payroll and they're the ones that said they're trying to emulate the Rays. 

Emulating the Rays could mean developing pitching from within. Lots of things other than reducing payroll to new lows. I’m not deluded enough to think Lopez is going to retire a Twin for sure, but trading him after letting Gray walk would nearly guarantee another drop in attendance of about 1/2 million in ‘25.

Fans bitch - fans in TD  group really bitch.  People are still pissed about the Viking’s of the 70’s…….they sell out every week…….If Twins make the playoffs and look competitive the focus will turn to next year and the outlook will be all roses! They haven’t lost the fan base, yet.

Plantar fasciitis has been a frequent visitor of mine and it doesn't seem to give a crap if I'm doing nothing or playing hockey.  It just shows up out of the blue.  It shouldn't have any bearing on where Correa plays.  And as for hoping for 100 games a year from players, why not 150 games?  Ohtani just reach the 50 homerun-50 stolen bases mark.  He's played 150 out of 153 games this year.  Don't the Dodgers know about mandatory days off?  The theory that young men in superior physical condition have to have a weekly break from their three-hour a day job is nonsense (insert IMHO here).

Let's start with a hundred and work our way up.
