For years and years and years, the Pohlads told everybody "when the team is close, we'll definitely spend the money."

Well the team is close and the Pohlads are sitting on their wallets.

And don’t expect those cheap sh!ts to allow the front office to trade “precious” prospects whom they would never pay, for any significant help.

I wish the home crowd would boo and heckle the frack out of the Pohlads because they deserve it.

Exactly. This team isn't going anywhere in the playoffs with the staff they have.

Funny.

I don’t like Glen Taylor. But at least on two occasions he’s OK’d an “all-in” offseason.

Can people say the Pohlads have ever allowed that?

Bawhahahahaha! Nope!

So all of you are aware of the offers?

What if the Twins offered more and he just wanted to sign with Chicago?

The Pohlads will enjoy their Faux season while pocketing the money on the way to their "2 million fans" quota and watch the team get swept in rd #1.

With all the short term deals and lightning in a bottle they caught, they should go for it.

This team could look drastically different next year.

This is why I wish I knew/remembered how it all fell together for the Royals to make those 2 World Series appearances (almost winning both). Did they simply use what they had or did they go after some extra pitching like we need to do ?

In 2015 they traded for Johnny Cuerto a pitcher from the Reds who won game 2.. But i don't remember much else..

I don't create bits and I hate being 100% correct about Twins ownership.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Lol. So is always the story with this club.


They better capitalize. They are in a atrocious division right now with the only other threat completely derailed by injuries.

I think the Twins come back down to earth at some point but with such a hot start, it would take a historic collapse to not make it now.

There probably wasn't much else, not huge anyway. I'm sure the Royals did what they could but the odds of the Twins having that Royals magic are tough. It could happen if they aquire a few more pieces.

I'm fine with not going 3 years. There will be other relievers available over the next month without giving up top prospects.
