How mad are Twins officials after he ripped them to shreds in the podcast after the TV debacle yesterday
From listening to the podcast, I’ve heard you mention a mystical spreadsheet of Chinese restaurants. If it’s not too much to ask, would you be willing to make a public copy that you could share with us, so we can eat like Gleeman eats?
I’m really concerned about what he has seen in this godforsaken sub. And I’m extremely concerned at the possibility that he’s seen the sock video
I asked Dan this the other day when he did an AMA here – are you optimistic about the long-term financial future of Major League Baseball?
The ESPN deal feels like a canary in a coalmine to me. Contract value keeps going up, payrolls have continued to outstrip inflation, and yet it seems like declining TV money means that 90% of the league has experienced stagnant or (such as in the Twins case), declining revenue.
Beyond this, is there any chance that questions about the fiscal landscape of baseball as a whole are impacting the valuation of clubs and, crucial to the Twins in particular, the Pohlad’s valuation between 1.5 bil and 1.7 bil, etc.
Not so much a question as a comment. I started getting into baseball pretty late in life around 2015 in my late 20s. Listening to the podcast has been a a big part of building my understanding of the game, particularly the minutia. It’s changed the way I write my blog on an NPB team and it inspired me to do a short-lived podcast of my own. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your work.
