It’s beyond confusing at this point. They take the necessary time to develop & work up a core of foundational players (Royce, Wallner, Larnach, Jeffers, Ober, Ryan, Jax, etc.). They FINALLY sign some veteran studs to big deals (Correa, Buxton, Pablo, etc.) They take the necessary time to consistently develop deep farm systems & waves of talent (currently the 2nd ranked farm system in the MLB). They overcome the longest playoff losing streak in North American history. They do all this just to dismiss it later on with payroll deductions. Chalk it up to greed at this point. In my honest opinion, even if you are extremely comfortable with your salary and lifestyle as an owner of a professional sports team, you should still take all the opportunities to get better when they present themselves. Otherwise what’s the point of constantly investing in development if you’re never going to invest in the actual thing that pushes you over the top? Are you actually a good business owner with this philosophy? Maybe in other industries but idk…
all very frustrating. We’ve got all the right pieces and trajectory right now. Currently projected 4th highest team fWAR in the AL going into 2025. Twins have a fire goin but no one wants to throw more fuel on it…
