Well...I look at it this way. I know a White Sox fan who went through 3 consecutive 100 plus losing seasons from 2023 to 2025 and now will make the playoffs. ..with a low payroll.(google Jerry Reinsdorf and read how the fanbase has reacted to him for many years)..plus I am a Twins fan who has seen worse seasons. So....I am not going to give up hope ...maybe I am a glutton for punishment...if the community hates them so much as you noted....cut ties with the team via arranging a settlement on the Target Field lease agreement...many cities want a ball team and may pony up some dough...I also think a pohlad sale could happen in the near future...i still have hope
Well...the lock down may increase the sale price of the team. Problem is...nobody eems to want to buy a team in Minnesota.. Padres and Angels were just sold for big bucks ..Angels are horrible and sold for 4 billlion...
according to MLB payroll tracker...I was surprised to learn that Guardians, White Sox, and Tampa Bay are among the 5 lowest payrolls in baseball...then three are in line at the moment to make the playoffs...
