I honestly don't even care anymore. My Twins fandom officially died today. I've put up with the cheap, awful ownership for years. But I am checking out. Just not worth my time or effort. I will check back once the Pohlads are gone. I hope they blow and get zero attendance. Screw the Pohlad family.

The Twins are a terribly run organization. The Pohlads are cancer.

Falvey’s interview in next year’s job hunt— “I made the Joe Ryan trade”. “OK, anything other highlights in the eight years running the Twins?”— “Well, I didn’t trade Joe Ryan!”

I posted earlier that Buxton, Ryan and Lopez should be the only untouchables, so I can't be angry that the FO traded as they did. I'm definitely a little confused by trading Varland. Losing Jax and Duran sucks, but I get the rationale.

There was an article I read earlier that mentioned most teams pending sale will keep most non-expiring contracts because generally the new owner is enthusiastic about spending money up front to make a winner. Instead Pohlad choose the FU option and blew it up.

So either, there isn't any "pending transaction" as stated or Pohlad really wanted to stick the dagger in fans one last time. Short term the team is as toxic as it gets. An owner who is going to follow the Pirates playbook while over-valuing the team.
