Tom Pohlad Assuming Principal Ownership

29 comments

1. Sell the team. Not this shit.

2. Back to the yacht club for Lil’ Joey?

3. Anybody that goes to games this season is hurting the chances of ever winning another World Series.

   I truly believe that.

4. Does anybody really give a shit which Pohlad it is? Until they stop running the Twins as the debt mitigation arm of their family business portfolio the team isn’t going to compete. No point spending money supporting a team whose owners will never prioritize winning over their own financial circumstance.

5. Chat GPT could have written that

6. Meh, appreciate the sentiment but let’s see some actual change tommy

7. I’m not even big on hockey but seeing the Wild try to go for it and then the Twins be the Twins is making it a lot easier to decide which team to buy merch from and attend games.

8. Rot in hell Pohalds. I hope you choke on your almighty cash. The Twins baseball team, its legacy, its current and former players and coaches, and the its entire fanbase deserve better than what you’ve done to this once proud franchise. Not another dollar from me until this team is owned by someone else.

9. That’s a good start but let me offer a couple comments. Recognizing last seasons roster reshuffle was necessary is fine with me but to gloss over the destruction of our bullpen for little to no benefit can’t just be glossed over. The moves went too far and lacked any direction strategically. It was just a money dump. Tell me it won’t happen again on your watch and I’ll feel a little better.

   Strategic curiosity? That’s a new one for me and I don’t like it. From the outside it looks like there is no strategy and this needs to be fixed. Lastly, the culture of your organization sucks. What are you doing to address that issue?

10. Glad they let me know now that they are still principle owners. Makes the decison to not watch them next season all that much easier.

11. What the fuck is “strategic curiosity”?

12. What a fuck. Shows absolute ignorance of what the moves last year were. Don’t pander to individual fans, read any article from any sports journalism site and see that your moves were – bogus. Unnecessary. Counter productive. Wrong. Dumb. Words. You made the team worse for the present and future. No one is excited to go to a game. Attendance may set records you don’t want this season. Television ratings will be shit as you’re not even part of basic cable throughout twins territory

13. Ok, but where’s our scouting?

14. “Through joys and disappointments”. When was the joy?

15. Different First Name, Same Tired Old Bullshit.

16. Sell the team to someone who isn’t a Pohlad

17. Surely, this will be the Pohlad who doesn’t yank the football away.

18. Your strategy is plenty curious already, holy hell I’d prefer they just tell the fans they hate us as fans at this point rather than keep writing these lying ChatGPT bs posts. Either show us or shut up

19. I mean, good for him that he’s not pretending this team will be good this year like some in the media and Falvey were.

    But come on with the World Series talk. We know they’ll never spend the kind of money for that to happen.

20. Eat shit, you worthless piece of water trash.

    I’m not spending another dime on this team until my money won’t go to a Pohlad. No in person games, no tv packages, no merch, NOTHING.

21. How about we talk about the ball park “experience” while we’re at it. Parking is terrible, it takes a minimum of 30 mins to get out of any parking structure. Okay, they don’t control that, but what about the sky high prices of food and drinks in the park? Honestly, it’s insulting how much it costs to buy a hotdog and drink in the park these days. Ownership needs to restructure how they do everything, from food prices to team roster to how they broadcast the games on TV. It’s all broken.

22. I wish him or Falvey would do a AMA!

23. ‘honored to continue the legacy my family has with this franchise …’ LOL

24. I once lived next door to a guy who served with Carl Pohlad in the army during WWII. Their unit was planning a reunion and that stingy prick wouldn’t even comp them tickets to a Twins game.

    I need them to sell this team because I can’t muster a single positive feeling for anything that family touches.

25. “From Tom Pohlad”

    

26. Not buying a word of that. They’re realizing season ticket sales are way down

27. Cool, as first act as principal owner he should sell the team. Fuck the Pohlads. Not a dime of my money until they are gone, signed a former flex plan fan.

28. How come he did not say anything about inventing more money in the team?

29. Will Tom Pohlad be better than Joe? I have no idea.

    But what I do know is that it will be much earlier for him to be better than to be worse.
