Why Minnesota Twins TV update isn’t good news

21 comments

1. Do NOT attend games this next year fans!!

2. So what you're saying is the Pohlad's will further reduce payroll for the '25 season, no way?

3. Do you remember a time when the Pohlad's promised a streaming service for the Twins, pepperidge farms remembers.

4. Today on " days of bad business deals", will Joe Pohlad sign another bad TV contract, Will Joe Pohlad reduce team payroll due to bad PR. Is the Twins organization gonna sink further into economic depression, stay tuned to watch a monopoly business supported by government funds implode.

5. All the exaggerations the Pohlad mob stated during the stadium subsidy (i.e. begging) hearings have been exposed as ridiculous lies. Good Bye Pohlads! Brokenhearted Twins fan!

6. Someone somewhere in the Twins front office there must be one guy who can figure out how to get rid of the Vazquez, DeSclafani, Paddack contracts.

7. MLB is complicit in this terrible TV contract. They need to find a way to broadcast many more MLB games if they want professional baseball to survive. I know it’s complicated but it needs to be done.

8. When I watched the 23’ season there seemed to be some hope The Pohlad’s had gotten past that business bullshit/running it like a business crap. After this offseason I put them on a short leash and again The Pohlad’s didn’t fail to disappoint to disappoint me. I knew when they started awfully something wasn’t right and when they started hitting and it alleviated the problems for a minute but when I saw all the young pitchers that were expedited from A and AA to the big club I knew something smelled. Now that I know about Joe Pohlad and his Ricky Schroeder’s Silver Spoons background I have no interest in paying money to watch The Twins (I was considering season tickets) because of Joe’s lack of work ethic and success. Why would I invest in a team that passed off The Twins to their KID as a gift so secretly they didn’t want the headache of running a sports franchise. I have a suggestion Jim Pohlad? So might I suggest you sell the team to someone who will treat this franchise like his or her baby and won’t pass it off on to your version of Ricky Schroeder Silver Spoons in Joe Pohlad. I’ve been a fan forever but that ends for me today until these evil effing bankers sell the team and yes I said EVIL. How else would I describe The Pohlad’s who’s put an open air stadium in one of the coldest weather market teams that would play in April but worse late October into November wtf.

9. what ever contract they sign, for the love of God please take out the blackout language.

10. The Dodgers, Phillies, Yankees and Guardians absolutely deserved the byes or otherwise the season means nothing.

11. Baseball should go to a 4 game series. Thursday-Sunday only. Off Monday-Wednesday. It would reduce cost, player injury, and could put a salary cap on. It would get more people to the ballpark I feel.

12. Insanely disagree with 120 game season. Baseball, ironically, is about the season first as much as the post season.

    It is a 1A to 1B scenario.

    You cut off 100+ years of records by reducing the number of games to 120. You render the season even more meaningless by expanding the playoffs.

    You start having champions that have no business being champions.

    Not. Everything. Should. Be. Football.

13. So… when does the mustache get shaved?

14. The NFL is perfect as is. Do NOT wish for the removal of a salary cap. Unless you want the Cowboys to win the next 15 titles.

15. At this point – I’m fine with any of our big teams leaving if they want a new stadium while also having not gone to a title game in a generation. Bye! I was devastated at talks of contraction … sure don’t care now. As recently as two years ago I was still willing to cheer for the Twins. But I’ve HAD IT with the Pohlads and their wealth that they hoard like fat dragons sleeping on a pile of gold coins. Didn’t they make their wealth off of foreclosing on depression era farms? They just feel like the embodiment of the old sleazy banker in Its a wonderful life.

16. DEFUND THE POHLADS!!!

17. As one who lives in Rochester MN who cannot drive up to the cities all the time to attend a game, and who doesn’t have cable, I’d pay money to stream Twins games.

18. Bigger late collapse: the Twins down the stretch or the sports dad navigating his thoughts at the end of the of the episode 😂😂

19. Twins should have at least 1 game a week on local channels, have some games that are free to watch.

20. So the games still won’t be shown on Dish Network…Bally won’t come to an agreement with them.

    I and most people I know haven’t been able to watch games since Fox Sports North. It’s been years so it’s Impossible to care. We used to go to several games a year.

21. Good afternoon gentlemen I have a solution to this problem the owners of all of the sports teams in the area should pool their money together and build their own network and tell that to the cable / satellite providers
