Minnesota Twins Fans Really, REALLY Don’t Like the Pohlad Family’s Ownership

Allegedly.
I will not buy a ticket to a Twins game at Target Field until they sell the team.
Who in the hell are the 7% of those polled that approve of the job the Pohlads have done? Straight to jail for them
I think we were mostly fine until the “right sizing”. Might have well told us to go fuck ourselves.
They don’t give a shit about the team so why should we be excited as fans?
lol. Nobody likes the owners of their team.
All my homies dislike the pohlads.
I will not buy a ticket for a game. I will not buy a T-shirt or a baseball hat nothing with the twins logo on it until the team is sold! And I’ve been a lifelong twins fan !
Go, Savannah bananas, baseball team! Way more fun watching them than the twins! Not even close
In other breaking news, water is wet!!!
I would say that we are right-sizing our emotional and financial commitment to the team
Well yeah, if they run a sports team with the same business-first mindset as anything else, they won’t consider the players or the fans, they’ll strictly look at it as a channel to their bank account and maintain it to stay as such. They’re super rich, don’t give a shit, and just enjoy the passive income they get with the team’s mediocrity. It’s a side hustle. They set it up in such a way they never even have to think about it. If they ever do think about it, you know a bad change is coming. Like reduced payroll while other teams increase theirs. That’s why we can’t keep players and that’s why we can’t make it back to the world series. We, the fans, do not matter to them. The team doesn’t matter to them. They do. not. care.

No shit
Just sell them, make some billions and take a hike
One day there’s going to be an MBA course featuring the Minnesota Twins called “How to ruin your brand in 6 months” The 2023 offseason was a disaster from day 1. Extinguishing any excitement after the playoff series win with the “right sizing” comments. Then screwing over 70+% of the viewers in the region by blacking out the games, just to receive an extra $20 million from Bally Sports.
We were looking forward to going down to Cincinnati (just under an hour) to see the Twins play the Reds. We saw them there in ’21 but missed out due to other plans in ’23. My wife asked “Why buy tickets? Why support them (Pohlads), when they don’t even care, by showing up.” She’s never been to Minnesota, but has come to know the pain.
Thinking Dayton Dragons may be a better bargain. Maybe see the Reds when they play Cleveland because screw Cleveland. I’ve been turning off MLB TV a lot during games this season. I look at all the ’87, ’91 Championship and divisional stuff I have hanging in the basement, and shake my head and sigh.
In other news, sky is blue, grass is green, water is wet.
Back to you Bob.
Are the Pohlads worse than Glen Taylor? I’m a lukewarm baseball fan and a T Wolves die hard. Glen Taylor has to be worse, right?
I made a promise to myself a long time ago if I ever see them in public anywhere I’m going to boo them to oblivion, I don’t even care if they’re at a funeral
It’s always important to remember that this family attempted to fold the team, back in the day. There’s no actual allegiance to the team, sport, city, or anything beyond the almighty dollar.
This is the ownership that contracted the team for cash. No amount of statues or gas lighting will convince me not to be a hater.
The Pohlads are less interested in having a winning team, and more interested in using them as an asset to borrow against the bank to fund their shitty lifestyle
Why would we?
Beat a dead horse. Fans don’t like Pohlads. Breaking news. Who knew?
There is still interest because people are complaining and posting and going on Social Media. Once fans don’t even care to post on Reddit or watch on TV or pay attention to box scores, then it’s worse.
I think that day is coming soon. People are angry the team sucks. Soon they won’t care.
It certainly shows. Attendance soon to be in the 4 figures.
Selling this team is going to be a task if they refuse to spend any money, or back off on price.
