    Let's be honest, the only reason they are actually pretending to 'connect' with the public is because (finally) people saw through a the BS they sling, and stopped buying tickets. Face it, when they "sell" 24,000 tickets to a game and only 9-10k show up, sure they got paid for those tickets, but when more than half of the people who bought decide to basically just throw their tickets away in disgust and not attend, that is not a good look, and certainly not a path to good things.

    I was reading an article where they ranked the 8 (yes, 8!) open managerial positions, and they placed the Twins 3rd; Braves 1st, Angels 8th. I think the author is a bit delusional, but if he's right, there are worse places to end up. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/ranking-mlbs-eight-managerial-openings-braves-orioles-offer-upside-rockies-avoid-being-last-on-list/

    If I had to fathom a guess it would be that someone, realizing the Pohlads aren't exactly the sharpest tools on the shed, sold them a bill of goods on some sort of AI 'system' that could do all that scouting work just making use of "big data" (think bigger, faster, broader reaching, computerized version of 'Moneyball' type statistics).

    I guess I never realized (nor did most people I'd guess) that this was an ongoing, reading/collecting the votes each day, rolling set of polls. I just saw the polls varied every few days, but never consistently 'voted' on a regular basis as you apparently set out for people to do. Did you receive more or less a consistent amount of votes each day?

    How soon before we start to hear rumors that there is a lawsuit against the Pohlads by the new "limited partners", suing to keep their names private?

    What are the odds that the 'local' limited owner group ends up being a consortium led by Securian Financial?

    My initial thought is "Great, another David West/Ricky Nolasco guy who can't find the plate consistently, but has enough 'stuff' that everyone thinks they can 'fix' him. We will see.

    Sure they picked a lane, it's to completely cut costs to the bone and have no long term obligations on the books for the lockout that will happen after next year. Which also makes me wonder if there even really is a potential buyer in the wings.

    Guess it's time to pull out the ol' "Get To Know Them!" giveaway Tee from 1998 and browse StubHub for some seriously discounted tix.

    It will be interesting to hear why this was "years in the making" and how Securian (more than any other company) fits in with the "Twins' Way" 🤣

    The Twins have lost money (in theory, wink, wink) a couple of years recently, but certainly not to the tune of $400MM; It is surmised that the Pohlads have been using the Twins as 'collateral' to cover the losses they've had in their other (failed/failing) business ventures.

    "only 26"? Twins treat every 'iffy' player like they're losing the next Big Papi and seem to play out the string wayyyy to long. Now that the trade values have cratered just keep throwing them out there and hope for the best? SMH

    I thought it might be somewhat clear enough later to at least bang out the rest of Game 1 (as a 5 inning game), even if they did it without fans in the stands just to help out fitting the games into the season. They'd need what, an hour at most?
