Patzky Old-Timey Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 A letter was released from team ownership today, and the news isn't what many of us wanted to hear. Clarity.. shortround81 1

ChermesZ Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 I’m going to become a padres fan. They actually try to win. like all their other businesses, the pohlads will run the twins into the ground.
strumdatjag Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 Wow. I just saw it at the STRIB. The fanbase was just getting used to saying bye-bye (or “Don’t let the door hit you …”). The fire-sale and now this surprise will be too much for some. For the rest of us, we will have to view this as an ongoing soap opera. Maybe Bill Pohlad can turn it into a movie. Patzky 1
jaimedude Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 I would rather endure severe hemmroids then continue to watch Pohlads own and manage Twins. Boo these skinflint owners. shortround81 1
NYCTK Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 Looks like my Twins boycott is lasting another couple years at least. How about those Mets last night?

Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 I hope this is just a negotiation tactic. Read the f****** room Pohlads. No one wants you owning the team shortround81 and Patzky 2

Puckett34 Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 I look forward to them not living up to the "rapidly evolving sports landscape one that demands strong partnerships, fresh ideas, and long-term vision" They possess none of these qualities jaimedude and USAFChief 2
jaimedude Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 They sunk so low last night they had the broadcast team promoting limited edition generic jerseys and sweatshirts. Goes to show they only care about selling stuff with the logo and not the quality of players on the field. I mean our final three hitters were Gasper, Juliene, and Fitzgerald. Those three had as much chance if getting a hit of Rodon as Larry, Moe, and Curly. Knuckleheads threw us a curve and sold hope. Having new Twins owners is like hunting an elusive snipe. A catcher that can't throw, first basemen without proper footwork or positioning, and a 31 year old career minor leaguer playing short stop. There are nights the Whichita Wind Surge could hang with this version of Twins. GeorgeLooney 1

They'd be figureheads intended to stand in front of cameras and give "ownership" a fan friendlier image. Neither they nor any other limited partners are going to have any real say-so on the operation. Patzky 1

Yeah, I got a pretty good idea what he would prioritize. Patzky 1
jorgenswest Verified Member Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 Any reason for hope in the Twins? I don’t see it.
