According to the Star Tribune, Joe Pohlad says that the payroll cuts did not hurt the Twins this year.
I feel better.
So that is the end of gleeman’s access…..
Basically Joe and Falvey threw Rocco and the players under the bus.
Yes
Where is Thad Levine in all of this? What does he do as GM? Primarily arbitration, contract negotiations, and draft pick negotiations? Or is he shaping analysis, scouting, and & player development? I have no sense of his responsibilities within the organization.
With title inflation, he would have been the AGM in past years.
They had to do that. The only other option is for them to take responsibility themselves, and that simply won't do.
BREAKING: Diamond says in court it plans to continue broadcasting one — just one — of the remaining teams it has with MLB: the Atlanta Braves.
The 11 other MLB teams (and 9 still under contract) with Diamond will either have to negotiate a new deal w/Diamond — or go elsewhere.
Maybe this time the Twins won't crawl back to DSG?
If they do crawl back to DSG, they need to DFA DSP.
retroactively
Is it too early to suggest the Twins find a place for this guy on the major league coaching staff?
retroactively
I would go the ballpark early when I worked that year to sit in the left field bleachers and watch him hit taters. When he was in the cage, everyone watching paid attention. It was like an old EF Hutton commercial.
Entire batting coach team axed, plus the assistant bench/infield coach.

Shomon is the only one that surprised me here. I figured he was probably safe since he worked his way up entirely during the Falvey period.
MLB should be ashamed of themselves for these stupid helmet ads sullying the aesthetics of the postseason.
Update
AL East now 0 for their last 10 wild card games, have not won a wild card round game against a team from another division since 2020.
Contraction!
