NEWS: Pohlad Family Will Remain Principal Owners of Twins, with New Limited Partners Coming Aboard

I am out. My first move upon hearing this was to cancel my subscription for Twins baseball. I then pondered which team to adopt as my new team, only to realize that if I supported them the Pohlad family could benefit through revenue sharing. This is a hard quit of MLB baseball for me. The Lynx can get me through to football season. Obviously not something I thought I would ever do when I chose my account name years back.

Without having been able to watch much (maybe 3-4 games all year), it sure sounds like the Twins were a tough watch. I hope I can rekindle some attachment to this team next year. Even if next season is disappointing, that would be an improvement over what they made me feel this season (nothing at all).

I will support the team win or lose. This TV stuff has totally turned me off though. I wrote it off as an unfortunate mess until this summer. Selling the fan base on resolving the TV problem, only to sign a new agreement with Bally, followed by this season's TV debacle. Unforgivable. I feel basically nothing for this team at this point. Hell, I have hardly seen them play.

Dear Pohlads: Don't Do This
TwinkieFan4life replied to Eric Blonigen's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don't care about what they spend, or what they do at the deadline. I just want to be able to watch the damn games. Pretty low bar to clear. -

Comcast, Diamond Sports Group Nearing Deal to Get Twins Back on Television
-
The TV deal will vanish from my memory once I forget we have a team, given I haven't seen a game on TV in two years.
-
I'm a high school teacher. I run into very few young people that care about Twins baseball at all. It is mind-blowing the Twins and baseball would deny in market people the opportunity to watch and connect with the athletes.

If my memory is correct, both were coming off arm issues during the seasons they were traded. Twins seem to like this type of discount.

Twins Minor League Report (5/25): Royce Returns for Rehab, Festa Dominates in Buffalo

Maybe the TV deal was strategy. Make it financially prohibitive to watch the team, forcing us to follow the team through highlights only. This makes the collective approach of striking out at historic rates chasing power more palatable to the average fan than actually trying to endure full games. Thanks for looking out for us Twins front office!!

Not really a good way to work around the problem of people not being able to watch games. Especially the 18-40 demographic (likely to lean into streaming). Sold their future for a present payday.
-
When take into consideration the present value of money deferred 10-20 years into the future, the value of this contract isn't what it seems.
-
Last year I didn't attend any games. I have been a big fan since the mid 90's, but I have no feeling of connection to the team anymore. I don't like feeling that way, but it has been so long since I could watch games. I have 3 kids and can't justify it to myself to pay for cable just to watch the Twins. Can baseball survive this?

Miguel Sano is on the Comeback Trail

Not sure why someone would give this statement a thumbs down. It is objectively true. They just struck out at a record level for a season. Our approach is obviously to sell out for power. I mean, I hope this is true, or the K record becomes really depressing.
