  1. LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOO

    Bad man gone (kinda)

    I realise he was just the voice, saying what the Pohlad’s told him to. And i know it just means next man up.

    But i still disliked him immensely. Entitled and insulting

    Not really sure how suited Falvey is. All i care about is that it doesnt distract him from his baseball duties

  2. Zoll has been an assistant GM under Falvey since 2020 for those who are interested. Seems like good moves all around, just so long Falvey doesn’t drown in all the business responsibilities

  3. Nothing likable about Dave St. Peter. Looking forward to his departure. Bring on President Falvey.

  6. I’ve met St. Peter. He is not the bad guy (or President) we might want him to be. If you think this change will make a significant difference without an ownership change, you’re going to be disappointed. Let’s hope a good buyer comes through.

  7. Falvey jumping into the business side is interesting. I’m assuming that this itself might be a transitional role as a potential sale happens. It probably portends less of a role for Joe Pohlad in this short term.

    Reason: it’s very likely that a new owner brings in a new business development staff to handle revenue generation, etc. This move might be clearing the deck for that outcome – and maybe even clearing the decks for a rebuild of senior leadership overall.

  9. So does this mean Zoll will ultimately be making the signing and trade decisions? Seems like GM doesn’t always mean what it used to in a modern baseball FO.

  11. Who cares? This means absolutely nothing if we don’t have an ownership group willing to spend money.

  13. Dave St Peter gets a golden parachute to retirement once the sale is announced. More “right-sizing” moves are on the way.

  14. IDK that this changes much aside from how they try to market the team. St. Peter seemed more old school so hopefully they can refresh their approach and get more people excited about the team.

    The team needs to just copy the Padres. I propose we dump all other major sports in our city to make everyone forced to love the Twins more /s

  15. I had one working experience with Dave St. Peter even though I never met him. I was with an agency in charge of creating cool things for season ticket holders.

    Two years after the Dozier cardboard cutouts, Dave wanted to save money so at the last minute he wanted a media-rich website to send to season ticket holders that would be an “experience” rather than a “thing”

    After every meeting he would complain that the website wasn’t cool enough and would make a new request for something asinine – like background music. All while insisting he’s not going to pay more and that any agency would jump at the chance to work with the Twins if we didn’t produce what he wanted.

    Our CEO was on his side and directed us all to work crunch time to get it done – my boss slept on a couch in the office for two nights instead of going home.

    So that’s when I learned he’s a cheapskate asshole. That’s all. There’s no lesson to this story.

  16. After the 2019 season we decided to get season tickets, and we were invited to an event for new season ticket holders in early March 2020. St. Peter began that event by telling everyone in the room that we were joining an “elite” group of people, and he then proceeded to offer extremely glib commentary on the emerging pandemic that aged like milk almost immediately. His unearned confidence has become an on-going inside joke around our household and I absolutely won’t miss the smarminess of his messaging.
