I'm a long (looooooooong) time fan, and I can honestly say I have never been more down on this franchise.
Part of it is the changes to baseball itself. I don't enjoy the game as much these days. Fewer balls in play,, zero real starting pitchers, the emphasis on analytics over playing baseball, and on and on. The complete and seeming intentional competitive imbalance.
But mostly, I feel like the Twins have abandoned me. Like every single decision is meant only to squeeze maximum revenue out of me, rather than to try to win.
I haven't abandoned the Twins yet. But I feel pretty close. And I never would have said that, even through some pretty lean times in terms of wins.
I hope a sale happens, happens soon, and new ownership puts me higher in their "things I give a **** about" hierarchy.
And on a larger scale, Major League Baseball itself needs a reset. Find some ways to start playing baseball again, because whatever this is, it aint what i call baseball
. And for heaven's sake, get a reasonable salary cap system in place immediately.
