Did they sell the team yet?
The Twins fighting Ryan over $500k and not improving the bullpen tell me it’s just another lousy year and ownership doesn’t care for the fans or players. I’ll go Wild and Saints games until ownership sells.
I would genuinely like someone to give me a legitimate justification for the current course of the team.
Why is running it back better like this with 0 improvements better than trading Ryan/Buck at their high values and restocking the farm?
How does this current team and the actions of the front office embody being competitive? Which was the justification for no trading out
Obviously i want us to spend and actually build. $160m makes us competitive. But thats not happening. So why would we not trade our stars. Maximise their values and set back the window until 2028
