None of this matters until the grifting silver spoon Pohlads sell the team and get out of the baseball business. They have no interest in seriously competing for the post season.

None of this matters until the grifting Pohlad family sells the Twins. NONE OF IT.

THERE IS NO COMMITMENT TO WINNING FROM THE GRIFTING POHLADS. Ownership entered this season resigned to low attendance--all the promotion and gimmicks are cover for a business plan that accepts low attendance--and mediocre results--this season. The Pohlads pulled back from selling last off season when they didn't get an offer they had counted on. They now are counting on a new Basic Agreement between owners and the players' union to provide a mechanism for cost certainty when it comes to payroll, if not a salary cap then something like one. That mechanism, the Pohlads believe, will add value to the franchise and raise the selling price. That's all the Pohlads are in this for, they could not care less about the team's record, the fans or attendance. They are true grifters.

Nothing about the Twins is "serious" until the Pohlads are gone.

WHY IS THIS DIFFICULT? Give Joe his money, convince him the team has turned a corner and is now serious about winning, negotiate a proper extension and get busy with the roster! What's so hard about that agenda?

These grifting silver spoon Pohlads are the absolute worst--they have no business acumen, they inherited a gem of a franchise they can neither manage nor afford. Memo to the Pohlads: GET OUT NOW.

Everyone is upset because the grifting silver spoon Pohlads have not sold the team and left town.

The Twins path to sustained success is blocked by the grifting silver spoon Pohlad ownership. Nothing will change until they sell and completely remove themselves from team activities.

Is there any reporting about the terms of his deal? In particular, how many years he got? Because this hiring doesn't warrant a "grade," rather it gets a label: place holder. I'm guessing he got two years and will be gone as soon as the grifting silver spoon Pohlads sell the franchise and the new owners blow out the incompetent Falvey.

Nothing will change until the grifting silver spoon Pohlads sell the team and leave baseball completely. With the Shelton hire they've announced next season is a scorched earth fight for the bottom with the White Sox. Shelton is a place holder and Falvey is a tiresome bureaucrat.

Any manager who agrees to work for current ownership has no aspiration to win the World Series. This hiring confirms Pohlad's intention to go completely scorched earth in 2026, hope for a salary cap or something like it as a result of next winter's negotiations for a new Basic Agreement, and enjoy the resulting uptick in the franchise's valuation and squeeze the last possible dollar out of a sale. Joe Pohlad is a silver spoon grifter and we will suffer for it.

Toronto may think they've got it good right now, but the Twins payroll has been "right sized"!!

Get real. The only way the Twins even dream about contending is when the miserable Pohlads sell the team. Memo to the Pohlads: PLEASE GET OUT NOW.

A #3 at best?! Thankfully you're not making talent evaluations for the Twins....

Heaven forbid the Twins should be involved in the Devers trade talks....he's exactly what the team needs in a number of different ways, but the curse of the Pohlads prevents us from behaving like a Major League Team.
