I used to have season tickets at Target Field for the first few seasons. In my opinion most people don't 'whine' about ticket prices. I have never viewed ticket prices as outrageous etc. for Twins games. Concession prices on the other hand are a joke at any major sports venue. Obviously huge margins which we hope they use to invest in the competitiveness of the club,

At this point why not? Who knows...not this guy.

WOW...very interesting. Appreciate the share!

Do they know you need to open up the piggy bank to obtain relatively successful pitchers?

Wow

I think they just ran out of leftovers from the Metrodome a few years back...

This article from the Ryan Administration is NOT a knock on the Mauer contract. I wonder how the current regime feels on the topic. Hopefully the link works for you all...I doubt they are going much about that 52ish number today. https://www.twincities.com/2012/12/04/minnesota-twins-gm-terry-ryan-doesnt-want-top-heavy-payroll/

Interesting take...I might have gotten my BANK but I'm not truly happy type of deal.

If that 10/285 is accurate that is a very legit offer. 13 is a joke but how the game is played in today's market. Can't knock him for taking it and obviously the Giants saw it as a proper investment. They have no issues selling out games. Hopefully the Twins take that $$$/season and invest it elsewhere where it is needed.

Job well done addressing the catcher position. More work to do for certain!

I don't see the Twins going 10 years. I don't disagree with your assessment at all on what he wants.

Well said Mark...

Totally agree you can't fake 12 years in the show. I used to have heated debates with a former co-worker who thought Nick Punto was the worst player ever to see a MLB field. If you play for 12+ years and are awful then the scouts/GM'S must all be idiots and know nothing about the game. He had a very respectable career!

Guys got a huge heart for the game...he busts it all the time. Probably can't say that for every player in the show. Hopefully he continues to trend upward!

I'm going to use this as a joke at parties....it's gold!
