I don't bet, but for the record, I did change my answering machine during Spring Training 1991 to be telling people the Twins were going to be very good and going to the WS because of the additions of Pags, Chili Davis, Jack Morris and others.

I should have saved the recording. And I should have bet.

Indeed, maybe you could have parlayed that bet into 1.75B today and buy the Pohlad's out. 😁

Do you think the Pohlad's are dictating that strategy?

No, I think the front office—Falvey and company—are doing that. And after the trade deadline, they had were a little short on experience and had to go with who was left.

Cough....ahhh....never again!  Sorry to break it to ya!  .500 is what the ownership shoots for and the "experience" of the Twins stadium, which will cost you "a lot" to go with a few friends, especially out staters!  Hard pass!

LOL.  Zero chance of doing anything until a new front office with some $$$ to spend has a few years.  So how long until that all takes place?  Would that be ten years out?  Then you're dealing with other playoff teams with better players and more money, and the chances of winning it all probably will yield an average of twenty years (to be generous).  So, I'd say betting on 2055 or later is probably worth it.

Depends on what sort of payroll rules come out of the new CBA.
