AJ Pierzynski is 100% correct. Pohlads are a joke.

Until you have a farm system like Tampa Bay can churn out year after year.. which includes starting pitchers, something the Twins don't really seem to do well developing... Joe Pohlad is correct but has zero evidence to back this up for the Twins and the Falvine era.Hoop Dreams wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 7:05 pm Joe Pohlad was on WCCO a little bit ago and made some interesting comments...
They should sign one of the available starting pitchers immediately and call it an offseason.

I saw a Pohlad quote:
"But without a question, the television situation is having an impact on our business. But beyond that, we're also just trying to right-size our business."

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.

If the Pohlads are pissed with attendance being low over the last few years with a higher payroll than what they were comfortable with, imagine how it will probably be when they trot out a watered down low payroll roster?!?
In that scenario, the team would be a losing team and attendance would be much WORSE than what they’ve experienced in the last few years.
Who wants to spend time, money, and make the effort to watch a shitty team knowing ownership is trying to be cheaper and has said as much?
They’d still have the family oriented, take-your-family-out-to-the-ballpark fans who will eat up anything the team hands out to them.
But I sense that much of the fan base has become wise to what the Pohlads have been doing and have become much more vocal about it.
Social media can be peer pressure.

Big mouth Joe Pohlad may have netted him a formal MLB Union complaint. It's one thing to be cheap, but cheap and dumb are a bad mix.

The Pohlands have always been "frugal." Lets not forget that it was not that long ago in which the Twins were selected to be contracted. It would be nice if the team could at least keep good players.

Carl offered his team up to be contracted. No matter what Joe does, short of spending to win a title, he will always be associated with his cheapskate, scumbag of a grandfather.William Munny wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:55 pm The Pohlands have always been "frugal."
