    I said it in the other thread, and I'll repeat it because it's true. This is WAY more exciting than if the Twins had gone 5-5 down the stretch and limped into the playoffs. This is actually potential hope for the franchise. We all know the Twin Cities to be a great metropolitan area and undeserving of terrible ownership whose only goal was to extract dollars. The Pohlads hated the fans so much, their mindset permeated the fanbase, having Twins fans suggesting MSP is a small market and that it should consider itself lucky just to have a team at all. There were even people on this very website questioning if the fans were the problem. The 2024 Twins were a loser organization with a loser mentality and the fans that still existed had resigned to that fact. If the sale actually happens, there's a real chance this organization can reshape its mindset and actually be a winning club with a winning mindset, because for years and years that hasn't existed.

    This is a fantastic map, thank you for sharing. I wish we had more data because, lets be honest, VividSeats isn't exactly anyone's primary source for tickets. But I actually used it a lot more this year than any of the competitors.

    QQ: Who was owner at that time?
  4. NYCTK
    Yeah, what's the point in spending out $1.6B in order for 8% gains and minimal operating income. They're going to want to grow the business.

    This is completely irrelevant. Y'all are so afraid of relocation. The Twin Cities are a highly valued market. No ownership group is going to move from the Twin Cities to some objectively worse market by all metrics. And part of the reason you are afraid is because the previous evil owner convinced you of this. He told you all you sucked and that you were lucky to have a team and that he wanted to leave but you all suck so much that no one would buy it. And some of you bought it. The Twin Cities is great. The Twins are not moving. F*ck The Pohlads.

    This is just completely bogus to say when we all see what the Pohlads have done in 40 years with the franchise. Eloise is the only one that actually liked baseball, otherwise none of them even pretended to care about their personal or the Twins reputations in the community.
  7. NYCTK
    It's mostly logic. With sports franchises so expensive, the billionaires willing to bid have to think they can improve the value of the franchise more than the other billionaire and more than just buying a PepsiCo distribution. Pohlads were just business people. The groups we've seen buying MLB franchises recently all seem to care about Baseball. The worst owners we see all tend to be the old family business people.

    Yeah, could be two years of messy transition. Look at the Mets. Steve Cohen came in 2021, and tried to do too much without understanding the industry and took until 3 years later until they had a competent baseball organization put together.
  9. NYCTK
    He could move the team. That's what everyone was so afraid of when he bought it. Just like people are irrationally afraid of right now. This is GREAT news and I'm sorry some people can't celebrate this. We're getting rid of owners that have never cared about baseball. Twins can be the Padres. Twins can be the Cardinals. Twins can be the Rockies...uh, scratch that last one. (except they're still a much better organization that the Twins).

    Stockholm Syndrome in full effect. People were saying this exact same thing about Zygi and now everyone loves him.
  11. NYCTK
    This is WAY better than the Twins getting into the playoffs. I had previously declared I was likely out as a Twins fan because the entire organization was rotten due to its terrible ownership. Well, now the Twins have the chance to completely change the culture of the organization, one that actually cares about winning. Lets f*cking go!
  12. NYCTK
    Nah man, I didn't ignore jack. Pohlads suck and the patriarch was a wicked man. Hope they're all miserable.
  13. NYCTK
    Why the rest of the league? Why not a good owner. Every is well aware sports is full of bad owners. The old boys club of stupid, old boring billionaires that only get off by comparing their big number to their stupid old boring friends big number. Comparing the Pohlads to John Fisher and saying 'It Could Be Worse!' while true, isn't a defense. I find it hilarious the people here carrying water keep mentioning the AL teams to try to make their point...completely ignoring the NL which completely invalidates the point they're trying to make. Mets? Great owner investing in his team. Phillies? Ditto. Padres? Crazy good owner that sadly passed away and had to "right-size" as well and still have a payroll 40 million higher than the Twins in an objectively smaller market. Even the Royals and Guardians don't make the point. These two teams increased spending year over year in order to capitalize on what they thought was a window of opportunity. Defund The Pohlads.

    Uninformed masses cheering on a billionaire that doesn't give a **** about them? Nah, doesn't seem likely...
  16. NYCTK
    You don't need to pay 1.5 million for a man that was DFA'd 3 times last season.
  17. NYCTK
    Different market, and richer owner, but Steve Cohen shows what a good owner looks like. Who cares if you lose $20 million when you can change the culture of your organization while creating lasting memories that bring in a whole new generation of fans?
  18. NYCTK
    Holy ****. The best game of the regular season AFTER the last day of the season. What a ****ing game.
  19. NYCTK
    Manuel Margot was 4th in all of baseball in pinch hit appearances (and first in Twins OF games!) That's all you need to know to justify his release. Seriously, what the heck more do you need than that.
  20. NYCTK
    Considering the roster is already at $133 million, this isn't really great. So, run it back. Or trade Paddack, Buxton, Correa, or Vasquez.
  21. NYCTK
    No one wants to say goodbye to Margot. It Buxton doesn't enter the game it's an insult to the fans that showed up on appreciation day.
  22. NYCTK
    Sounds like a man ready to cut expenses.
  23. NYCTK
    Eeles is fascinating. I hope he gets a real chance. He should if he keeps working hard which must be how he got where he did in the last year.
  24. NYCTK
    Loser organization, constantly shooting for 86 wins and hoping it's good enough.
  25. NYCTK
    I actually didn't know you can bring food in. Is that typical? I've never considered bringing food to the park before. I should look into it!
