    Their firm is out of Chicago. I'm guessing they're there more than Phoenix.

    His brother adds another 10B to the ownership group.
  3. NYCTK
    Both brothers worth about 15 B. That'd make them one of THE richest ownership groups in the league. He went into the Suns and tried to buy wins. That's way harder to do in the NBA, so this could be great for the Twins. But he also seems very hands on. Which doesn't always work out.

    You're the only one refusing to do the analysis to the question only you yourself is asking. Do it yourself and stfu about everyone else being uninformed already.

    You sound like an Elon reply guy. Go ahead and compile it. It doesn't actually matter because it will end with some stupid loser conclusion like "actually the Pohalds have forgone other risk free investments with an annual return of 8.8% in favor of their investments in the twins which have only yielded a return of 8.6% (ignoring annual operating income)" or something equally stupid.

    No it's not. European soccer leagues are the least fair leagues in history and they're also very healthy. Like I said, I'm all for increasing some revenue sharing and taxing excessive payrolls. But hell no to a salary cap. And the MLBPA is in agreement.
  7. NYCTK
    Not even the Pohlads care this much about people criticizing them for being cheap a$$holes. Are you on their payroll? Like I said, you're welcome to do a whole writeup about how virtuous and good the Pohlads are for the on field product if you'd like. Until then, I and everyone else will continue to point out the Pohlads are cheap a$$holes.

    I'm right there with you. I will probably come back once they sell. But my entire fandom right now is that if a bystander critic. I will not support this club financially in any respect. The front office has made it clear winning is not important. Here's hoping the sale happens soon and the organization can redirect to compete in 2026. They have decent pieces, it wouldn't be too hard to do.

    He also got severely hurt rounding second on opening day. I'm done hoping on him. He should be viewed like Buxton. Hope for 350 PAs but don't expect it.

    Always remember the 2024 Twins period of successes were a mirage, buoyed by a 13-1 record against the worst team in MLB history. They were ALWAYS a mediocre team and that was entirely evident by early July. Just became painfully obvious in September.
  11. NYCTK
    Hard no to a salary cap. Increase revenue sharing. Hell, even sharing 100% of media contracts seems arguably beneficial. Increase luxury taxes, sure why not? But salary caps do nothing but help the billionaires. Restricting the earning power of the labor is never something I'll support. Even if we're talking about millionaires.
  12. NYCTK
    This entire offseason is an exercise of futility. A tentative front office tinkering with a mediocre (at best) roster in hopes everyone outperforms expectations and they can somehow squeek into a wild card spot to placate an understandably dwindling fan base. Last trade deadline is emblematic of this organization. Directionless. No idea what they should do or how to improve their team in the current day or future.
  13. NYCTK
    If we're being completely honest, the Twins didn't really compete in that series. They lost both games at home, scoring only 3 runs. And that was only the division series. I'm really bored of fans propping up that the Twins won what equates to a play-in series more than an actual playoff series. Woo hoo, they won two games at home against another mediocre team. Congratulations. The Twins have only once in the last 33 years competed in the LCS. The Timberwolves are one of the worst franchises in all of professional sports history and even they have contended more than that. Being a contender requires more than just winning a bad division.
  14. NYCTK
    Are you suggesting billionaires care only about capital and not their communities? How dare you!
  15. NYCTK
    No you can't. What agent would agree to that? He sees FA catcher comps getting 2 years 13. So you want to make this renegotiated deal, 3 years $23? Deferring 2 million from this season? That's not moving the needle at all.
  16. NYCTK
    You missed my point. You called them a good team. There's no evidence to suggest the 4th place finisher in arguably the worst division in baseball last season is GOOD.
  17. NYCTK
    When have the Twins ever thought about truly competing?
  18. NYCTK
    I wouldn't call the prospect particularly high upside. A fine but dime a dozen A+ pitching prospect. Something between Prielipp and Bowen. Plus international signing money they're gonna use to try to get Sasaki.
  19. NYCTK
    Well the Red Sox already traded for a backup catcher so they're not particularly interested.
  20. NYCTK
    I mean...I stated in that very post that the NFL is top dog and inferred they're not subject to the same rules. And even so, the Vikings have still been more successful than the Twins in that time frame.
  21. NYCTK
    The only thing to talk about with the Twins the last fifteen years (with the exception of Bomba Sqaud) was how mediocre they are and how hampered they are by the poorly operated organization. People talk about what people care about. No one cares about the Twins because of the Twins. Now, I love that sort of catty discussion but I'm guessing it doesn't really sell ads outside the NFL discussions, because the NFL is king.
  22. NYCTK
    The partially (10%?) still covid recovery hindered attendance in 2022 was 1.8. And that's the low mark for Target Field excluding the '21 season for obvious reason. Dipping below 1.95 million is true indication of the team losing the fans so we should absolutely expect to see that.
  23. NYCTK
    What's the over/under on attendance this season? 1.85 million? 100,000 less than last season. That's something like 5-10 million loss in revenue... ...better cut payroll some more.
  24. NYCTK
    You can quite literally argue the Padres were the second best team in baseball last season.
  25. NYCTK
    Agreed on everything here. Front office looks pretty pathetic this last year. Kind of looks like Falvey has kind of given up. And I don't actually blame him. Your boss tells you out of nowhere that your project budget has been slashed after you built everything up and delivered on expectations? Oh yeah, they're also selling the company and there's no real incentive to deliver anything. You'd be livid.
