There have been a lot of dark days for this franchise. The day the first stadium bill failed and they were moving to North Carolina. The day contraction was announced. So this isn't the worst day . But it's top 5.
I am astounded that they think this is the right move. They have already burned all goodwill they ever had. Stadium and TV revenues will only plummet further. MLB has major issues. There is a lockout pending. The value of this team is as high as it's going to be for the next several years. The value is only going to go down.
I don't agree that a full rebuild is necessary. They have a base payroll of about $100 million going into 2026. If the new owers are just willing to spend the same $140 million the Pohlad's spent this season, they can rebuild the bullpen and add a 1B. There is quite an impressive list of relievers hitting free agency this Fall. Grab two, maybe trade for a 3rd and possibly convert someone like Zebby Mathews to the bullpen and suddenly it's decent again.
It's been obvious that Falvey is never leading the Twins to the promised land since the 2019 trade deadline. He's simply not a good GM, doesn't hold those under him accountable and it's absurd that he now runs the business side too. The new owner needs to fire him on day 2.
Me too. I actually thought there was a chance he'd be fired by Thursday evening before the road trip. Unbelievable. I mean Falvey deserves to be fired more than Rocco, but we knew that wasn't happening.
The Twins will be 10 games under .500 by the trade deadline, let's be real.
Trade France, Bader and Columbe obviously.
Also Duran, Stewart, Castro, Paddock and Topa and Vazquez if anyone will take them.
