This is elite caping for billionaires who never spend the requisite amount of money on the club for it to be competitive. I promise they're never going to invite you into their suite.

What did I say that was incorrect? All of what I said has been proven to be true. Did you watch the last 12 years of Twins baseball? If you can't see it for what it is, I can't help you

As a 20-year fan of the Minnesota Twins, I am hoping to connect with other longtime fans who are disgusted and fed up with the direction of the franchise under the Pohlads. This family has done nothing but take our money and give us dog**** baseball for most of our lives. It's time for the team to be sold. Steve Cohen overnight turned the Mets into contenders by spending legitimate amounts of money geared towards on-field success, something the Pohlads have never done, even when they were gifted a brand-new ballpark paid for by us, the Minnesota taxpayer. To think of the Twins as "small market" is close-minded at best. The Twins make a ton of money every year. The Pohlads don't ever lose money on this ballclub. They simply don't want to spend money on the Twins because they do not care about us, the fans. All they care about is lining their own pockets. And they can do that without negatively affecting Twins fans after they sell the team and are compensated for that sale. The Pohlads have taken all the joy out of Twins baseball. I used to love this team, and now there is nothing in my heart but negativity and anger when I think about the Minnesota Twins. I would hope that those with season tickets consider not renewing until the team is sold. There is no reason to reward the Pohlads for the years of good baseball they kept from us with their avarice. I would love for anyone who writes about the Twins in local publications to float this possibility to the reading public. It seems as though keeping press passes and clubhouse access is more important than being an actual journalist who speaks truth to power. The Minnesota Twins are irrelevant, are an afterthought in the local sports scene, and they deserve to be until the team is sold and new ownership shows a commitment to the passionate fanbase that kept this team alive during the lean years. The Pohlads didn't save the Twins. They tried to get them contracted or moved to North Carolina. Twins players and Twins fans kept this team alive. I know that the Twins could be and should be a premier MLB franchise that contends for World Series titles. If the Padres can do it, the Twins surely can. But they need owners who give a ****. And the Pohlads never will. It's time for them to sell the team and until then, I strongly suggest Twins fans make their voices heard in 2023 by not showing up to games or showing up to games with the express intent of voicing their discontent with the ownership. If any other Twins fans have suggestions on how to voice our collective anger and discontent towards present ownership, I'd love to hear your ideas. Thank you.
