I quit on that loser franchise years ago.  Waste of time and money.

Mid-mkt teams struggle in MLB - league is run like s hit.

Twins have a double whammy - sisters of the poor television contract. Why in the world would a team like the Dodgers give up their advantage vs others? No incentive to do so.

Cant possibly compete? Short answer might be yes, but the Pohlads still need to go.

It was never more clear the Pohlads aren't interested in winning when they completely dismantled the team after the 2023 season. Let our top 3 starting pitchers go, slashed pay roll, and didn't add anyone.

We had young ready to play prospects coming up that could have helped push that team over the top. Instead we fell back to mediocrity and now we're in a complete rebuild.

I get the Twins aren't a big market team, but look across the border at Milwaukee who has done an excellent job of turning their franchise into a perennial playoff team the last decade.

Why is Minnesota considered a “mid-market” anyway? There are 17 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Minnesota. I guess it’s strictly based on the television market size of Minneapolis/St Paul which is the 15th largest( out of 210). Is that actuality “Mid”  IDK…

I'm a Royals fan. Competing for championships is difficult but not impossible. Twins ownership is comically bad. The fact they couldn't even sell the team right checks out.

Maybe Andrew Miller could lend his Male dancers to the Twins in order to increase fan interest?
