Gleeman’s questions to Joe Pohlad regarding payroll decisions
39 comments
I’m curious about this better product, would be nice if that involves investing some money in the team
Pohlad dodged those questions HARD.
Lotta words to say nothing of substance whatsoever, as could be expected.
Good job by Gleeman. Unfortunately to translate what Pohlad is saying here: payroll will be dropping again.
Waffle waffle waffle
Dont trust a word that silver spooned twat has to say
Kudos to Gleeman for this, few in his position would push like this.
We are lucky to have gleeman
Unbelievably depressing answers
man fuck the pohlads
“There’s always next year” coming straight from the top.
Gleeman is the goat. What a fuckin coward Pohlad is
Get ‘em Gleeman, gloves off. I love it. A lot in his position are just organizational mouthpieces but he has no trouble calling bullshit. He and Bonnes have been letting them have it all year.
Side-stepping Nepo Joe out in full force, color me shocked 🙄 greedy POS. What a clown
TLDR: Pohlad “I’m not going to get into the decisions right now.”
Transparency and a mea culpa would actually go a long way in helping fans come back to the team, seems like it would also be a smart business decision since it costs NOTHING to say sorry.
Gotta add, if there’s never an apology that can only mean that they aren’t sorry they made the decisions they did.
He could have just said no comment and be as worthwhile than anything he said in those questions. Guy can’t answer any questions, can’t just be transparent and answer the questions everyone’s been wondering, maybe he should just sell the team if these are tough questions to answer
Hold them to the fire
That Patreon money protects him. Well worth it to contribute to him and John
Sell the team
Man, he’s a little fucker isn’t he?
He seems to have needed exactly $30 million for something else this year. Did he cross the Mob?
“I’m not going to get into payroll right now.” Ok, but that’s what the questions are about. And if you won’t answer them now then when.
They aren’t going to be able to avoid these question la forever, people are going to keep asking
Fuck that fucking fuck.
This has been going on for 33yrs… I’m honestly shocked anyone in MN pays to watch this dumpster fire of an organization 😂
Connie Mack once said he was happiest to have his teams finish about third (pre-playoffs) because he didn’t have to pay players more but still good enough to get fans to come.
Well done Gleeman. Unfortunately Glass Joe doesn’t care.
“Things come up.”
LOL
Wow, Joe Pohlad is a coward. At least he allowed the interview, but if you are planning to give non-answers to Aaron Gleeman saying what we are all thinking in the politest possible way, than what are we doing here?
Lost me at “I’m not going to get into them”.
Win or lose, their bank accounts keep getting fatter. The sad thing is that we could all stop going to games and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference to them. They’ll reap a windfall even if they’re playing for tumbleweeds.
Joe Pohlad is a coward.
So basically:
“Do you view this team as just a business?”
“It’s complicated and I’m not going to explain myself.”
“I’m literally asking you to explain yourself.”
“I don’t wanna.”
Him referring to the team as “the product” all the fucking time is just infuriating and so incredibly telling.
Fuckin’ love Gleeman.
Joe doing mental gymnastics right in front of us to uncouple payroll from the on the field product.
Good for Aaron! Thank you for pushing through BS answers!
Too bad he says he’ll put a better product in the field next year cause this 20 plus season ticket holder, and alumni of his high school, says I am not willing to wait, I turned my Delta tickets in.
Thank you Gleeman for the excellent questions.
The Pohlads are no different than the vast majority of sports owners. This is just another business to them.
The Pohlad’s DGAF about winning as long as they turn a fat profit. Winning would be a nice secondary achievement.
“We will have a better product on the field next year”.
Yep, definitely see it as a business first and foremost.
Fuck the Pohlads. This guy is basically saying he is only willing to do just enough to keep the team kind of in the wildcard race. This asshole has never said they are willing to spend what it takes to win a championship and he never will. We will never win another World Series as long as this greedy family owns the team. I hope we all remember this when they come asking for another billion + in 15 years for a new stadium. Fuck them.
