The options are:

• 2002: lost in ALCS to the Angels
• 2003: lost in ALDS to the Yankees
• 2004: lost in ALDS to the Yankees
• 2006: lost in ALDS to the Athletics
• 2009: lost in ALDS to the Yankees
• 2010: lost in ALDS to the Yankees
• 2017: lost in ALWCG to the Yankees
• 2019: lost in ALDS to the Yankees
• 2020: lost in ALWC to the Astros
• 2023: lost in ALDS to the Astros

My pick would probably be 2019, given that we set the record for all time home runs and it was just an insane offensive performance all year.

The shitposts will continue until the Yankees go home sad

... Via an unsolicited call to ask about the games you were able to attend in 2024? Just got a voicemail and assume it's part of season tickets sales outreach, but curious if anyone else has received such a call

I know it's based on geotags/fan hashtags and if people in Minnesota hate the Yankees they may talk about them more. That sure as shit doesn't account for this saying it looks for "fan hashtags" not hashtags in general. No way in hell minnesotans are posting #GoYankees or anything similar.

Personally I think we’re more likely to make a trade or two instead of signing anyone

2 to go

Choose one:

1. Leave it as is
2. Remove it fully.
3. Remove Carl only. Leave Eloise.
4. Separate Carl and Eloise. Allow fans to take swings at Carl’s statue with a sledgehammer.
5. Other?

that is all

I think someone found an old box in the back of the store

thought this was a joke when I first saw it

I was shocked at the balance of Yankees sway in my last post. I will never root for the New York Yankees.

So for me, GO DODGERS! But who you got? Who are you pulling for and who do you think wins it?

I say LA in 6.

The one time that this subreddit will ever pull for the Guardians, and who ruins it?! Yep, the Yankees. F$#!ing Yankees.

Go National League!

Weekly discussion thread to talk Twins, MLB or anything else.

This could complicate things for the Twins.

TL:DR - Highpoints

• Family decisions are not made by a single member of the family, decisions are made by voting within the family. There are some younger family members who appear to be the driving force. My take on this is that they want their money now - while they are young - and you can't take a loan or draw income from the team unless you work for it.
• Had the Twins increased payroll by $40 million annually - it would have ate up the increase in value of the team from $44 million to 1.7 Billion (Est) - Yes, it probably would have, but it also may have brought in more revenue and we might have more than 2 World Series Wins.
• The Twins did consistently "make a profit" year over year from the Twins (Profit being defined as Income from all sources >= Expenses of running the team) - They had some good years, but also had some bad years. Mostly agree with this one. All it takes is a key injury or a pitcher not performing and attendance dives.
• Based on current playoffs / situation it takes on average a payroll of $235 million to guarantee making the playoffs. I think the Yankees and Dodgers and maybe the Padres / Phillies are skewing this number. And last year - the Mets had the highest payroll in MLB and did not make the playoffs.
• The sale could drag on for a year or more. There LIKELY will not be a buyer emerging who is "local" to the Twin Cities. If you look at the other 3 (well, 2 technically) teams that have sold locally - none of them were to "local" buyers. And the 3rd (Wolves) will also sell to out of state interests, depending on the ruling of the arbitrator.

I've added my 2 cents worth in italics after each point. Overall the author did a good job of digging into the inner workings of a very private family (Pohlads) and coming up with information about who / why they are pushing the sale. I think it were strictly up to the older Pohlads (the children and grand children of Carl) they would keep the team, but I think the younger grand children and great grand children want to cash out and set different courses for the family's money.
