MN TWINS off the market

[MinnesotaFats]

Team can't find a buyer.

Because it's overpriced and in deep debt...

i am offering $500 to be a limited partner. first idea is strippers at concession stands.

Wow......
They knew this before the trade deadline. That's why the unloaded 10 of the players on their MLB team and 5 that were starters.

They are now going to go as low-ball as possible on salaries. Reminds me of the Marlins Wayne Huizenga after they won the WS in the late 1990s. The only difference is Twins never won anything.

they are going to be shit for a few years until MLB steps in.

I may have mentioned this somewhere else but I heard a great idea on how to resolve the issues with these low-paying/don't give a crap teams.


If a team finishes in the bottom 3rd of the standings and has a salary in the bottom 3rd for 3 straight years, the team must be sold. This rule would never fly of course because being forced to seel would make values drop.

But, it would be a fitting situation to remove owners who don't give a crap about the team and the fans.

this is where we need MLB A and MLB B or something where if you suck, you go into the lower league with less revenue and no chance to win a championship. don't they do this in soccer in Europe or used to?

it would take a whole restructuring and then teams would bitch about not being included in the main revenue but it def gives incentive to win.

That would be amazing. Like the English Football League.
Make an MLB team drop down to Triple A ball or something.

Well...we did win the WS in 87 & 91.

The problem is Minnesota in general. The team had to absorb the family's debt after Pohlad passed. They were sued by the State for taxes. On top of that, the County taxes everything from beers to hotels to parking to pay for the stadiums, and the State has the 4th highest income tax.

It's just not competitive

Do you think they will move?

Do you think they will move?

If the Wolves leave in the next couple years, the Twins will follow.

Somalis don't buy tickets, and its becoming less & less safe to bring the family in from the burbs to watch a game, let alone a losing & discredited product.

2030 will mean stadium 20 years old, that's when they start wanting a new one...State is absolutely broke.

A lot of things have appeared to change since the last time I was in Minnesota.
Somali's and male cheerleaders......... So many surprises.
What's next????? Minny comes out of the closet?




Relax, I'm joking Minny.

This amongst other things is probably one of the reasons Minny left the state... I mean really left it. Got as far away as he could and ended up in Costa Rica.

Dude our old beer territory for Budweiser & Heineken & Guinness is down like 25-30% in case volume since '00

Its insane the State investing in Somali immigration and now the economy is collapsing locally because they dont spend outside their community and they're taking over politics. MPLS next Mayor will be Somali socialist.

People, Democrats in particular, really dont understand that you cannot change the culture of certain demographics. They will always breed failure.
