A neighbor has two Lassie type dogs. One barks loud when anything passes by, and the other one sounds like a broken squeak toy. I always feel bad for that guy.

Blaze on, Ohio.
There is absolutely no reason that the Twins should have a below league average payroll next year.
There is absolutely no good reason...
FTFY
Talking about the Strib / Athletic reports about lower payroll next year?
Hayes includes these paragraphs:
This feels like the Twins received ballpark numbers for broadcast revenue in 2024 and found it will be lower than 2023. The TV deal bubble is bursting and cable providers can't have the entire broadcast base subsidize the higher costs. Other teams have the same problem so I wouldn't be surprised if the average payroll decreases next year.
that would be awkward
It would kind of just be a continuation of 2023, right?
yeah, except no Dick Bremer
but Ballys going to court to not pay the Twins kind of led to the Twins not reupping the tv contract
its not surprising, considering the tv deal situation, but a strong team coming off a successful season is a terrible time to cut payroll
the Cleveland franchise model is not one to copy
I prefer the Texas model.
Maybe they need the taxpayers to build them a new ballpark to offset the drop in TV revenue.
But seriously, if the increase in franchise valuation alone over the lifetime of the Pohlads’ ownership has been insufficient such that the second and third generation of a multibillionaire family can’t sustain a championship-level payroll for two seasons, then they need to sell the team.
What puzzles me is that while the billionaire owners make good profits off of owning baseball teams, there are far more lucrative businesses they can own to exploit the public. Why bother owning a sports team if you don't want to do everything possible to win. If it has to be billionaires, give me 30 Steve Cohens who all despise each other and will do anything to stick it to each other.
Show me another business with the guaranteed success of professional sports. Even the worst owners make a profit.
True. 100% guaranteed profit even if the margins ain't as high
Oligopoly feature-not-bug.
Glendale allowed five runs in the first inning and lost to the Surprise Seguaros 8-5. Kala'i Rosario was 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs. Zach Veen pitched a scoreless inning.

The Athletic says Hunter was in the mix for the job but the Angels wanted a previous MLB manager.
I'm perfectly happy for him to stay far away from the Twins.
Biiiiiiiig co-sign.
First base coach for the guy who frequently took off for second knowing they weren't going home
Wolves wearing their Tony Campbell-Pooh Richardson-Doug West era kits and really they should have never left the rotation.
now just need to get them in Aurora green.
Early on in my time at the card shop, a young kid asked for any Randy Breuer cards we had. It knocked me flat. I asked how he knew about the guy and he said “Randy’s our school janitor.” An interesting second act.
Wut.
School janitor? How many millions did he make in the league?
B-R says at least $4.1 million.
Pooh is in the house. They honored him during the first quarter.
Well that was a sick lob to Rudy.
last year, that pass clanked off Rudy's hands
A lot still do clank. He's much better with lobs than with more direct passes.
Jeebus, that second quarter. Domination.
extending it in the third quarter. Who are they Wolves?
What’s the opposite of a silver lining? I’m watching the Wolves and still have to listen to A-Rod complain about baseball analytics.
Fun and fascinating history of the founding of MPR
Thanks for the share. Makes me proud to be a Johnny. Those monks are pretty cool people.
