New Owners: Who Ya Got?

[nicksaviking]

Ok, this isn't going to be popular, but hear me out. Taylor Swift. Do it!

Forget about paying MLB.TV $20 a month to watch the Twins, Amazon Prime would be paying US FANS for the right to stream Twins games.

OK, next. Who's got another good one?*

Funny. Taylor Swift is probably the most popular person in the country, so it would be popular. I would put the odds at less than winning Powerball but would also embrace that sale. She is a force in business.

Bezos is a crazy weird dude but also good at business .... as long as we are being silly.

Any chance Mauer becomes a minority owner?

Every old skewl ballplayer pools their money and does everything like they used to back in the day. Makes the Rockies look modern.

Does the Sultan of Brunei like baseball?

[Mike Sixel]

I just got an email from a prince in Africa that says if we all send him money, he'll buy the team and leave it in Minnesota... Now, how do I find my routing number?

Like LIV baseball? 

Man, the Twins would be trying to get all the best players!

Don Beaver, who lives in North Carolina.

Investor from the United Arab Emirates who has never seen a game of baseball before.

Personally, I think your original response was a winner:

Well, first of all, A-Rod has plenty of experience owning the Twins.

I couldn't name any of her songs... But Damn It... I'm a Swiftie. 

More power to her. She wrote the songs... they belong to her and she got them back. 

I couldn't name any of those songs... but... More Power to her. I'm a Swiftie. 

Go Chiefs!!! 

Ok Not that Far... 
But I'm a Swiftie.

I can already see the Buy It Now jerseys and the Twins taking the field dressed like Hobbits to promote Rings of Power Season 3!

Mark Cuban has tried to buy the Cubs and Pirates but the owners rejected him. Maybe they'll give in this time.

[CRF]

I mentioned Bezos and Cuban in the other thread, and got a bunch of thumbs down. I'd take Cuban as the next owner in a heartbeat.

That was when cable TV and it's stupid huge revenue was still a thing. 

And the Cubs, duh, they can lose 100 games for 100 years and make money. And he's from Pittsburgh.

Also, this is supposed to be un-serious. The answer should be Mark Wahlberg:

Or perhaps Mark Davidson:

[nicksaviking]

Ugh dang it. Mark Knopfler is a better 'Mark' choice:

I want my MLB.TV!

You'll be sorry when you could have turned your $100 into 1M a century from now.

I plan to spend all my money in the next twenty to thirty years.... Assuming humanity lasts that long

I propose Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.    Then if the team stinks, Nvidia can use its artificial intelligence to make us believe the team is great.
