I think that the Pohlads are smart enough to realize that they make more money by fielding a good team and selling out games than continuing to field crappy teams. They did spend some money in the offseason. Yes, the payroll isn't extremely high, but payrolls tend not to be super large when you a team mostly of pre-arb/early arb players. Could they spend more? Absolutely. Would I have liked Kimbrel? Absolutely... for this year and next year. I probably would have for three, but not that 4th year option. Also, we don't know what kind of demands Kimbrel made of the Twins. Would you want him if he told you that he'd only plitch the 9th inning? I just don't think the Twins not getting Kimbrel necessarily means that the ownership/front office was being cheap. Not ruling it out, but in this case, I have a feeling that it was the length of the contract and not the money that gave them pause.
