Yes we do not know if Ryan offered anything, was high bid and turned down or what happened. This we do know: Jim Pohlad has said many many times that they would spend 50-52% of revenue on payroll to field a competitive team. Forbes has the Twins revenue at around 210m same as the Tigers. 50% is 105 mill payroll. The last 2 years Ryan has cut payroll to the point this year it will be in the upper 70's. Next year there is around 45m on the books. We also know the Pohlads are one of the richest if not the richest owners in baseball. Therefore please do not use the poor Twins card. They have plenty of money and wealthy owners with a money printing taxpayer funded atm called Target Field.
