[Gleeman] The Athletic asked 40 MLB executives to vote on the best front offices. MNTwins ranked #8. “Everybody who goes there loves it. You hear it from every player who played for them.” Derek Falvey was called “one of the most exceptional leaders out there.”

1. Haters in shambles

   Seriously though I have been impressed by Falvey and his regime. They push for as much spending as they can get and aren’t afraid to be aggressive which is a huge plus for an organization that was detrimentally passive for many years. I truly think if ownership wasn’t cutting them down at the knees and let them spend even like $155-$170 million on payroll for a couple years here when they have this core they’d be a true contender and have a real shot at winning a World Series.

2. I mean it’s not the front office that’s the issue. It’s the cheap owners. I’m sure if they had more cash they’d have spent it but the Pohlads won’t allow it.

3. Surely there is a way for me to invalidate opinions of people who actually work in the MLB based on my own uneducated opinions

4. Cool. Can they hit?

5. The FO is good. Some solid trades, some not so solid, but they’ve been aggressive which is good for the organization. They just keep getting kneecapped by ownership.

6. HaNg tHe BaNnEr!

   I kid. Obviously. It’s fun to read about your team having a good culture. Baseball and pro sports in general can get very scummy. So it’s nice to read that your favorite team tries to go about things the right way. Not just in terms of treating it’s players right, but also the employees.

7. But *I* know what’s best for the team! *I* know we should’ve signed Snell and Montgomery! That’s *all* Falvey’s fault! FIRE HIM REEEEEEEEEEEE!!! 😡😡😡😡
