MLB: ***2026 Minnesota Twins***

Royals have
That’s the one exception recently and I guess the Nationals too. It can happen, but it’s rare.

I really like what the owners proposed the other day with a 170M floor and a 243M cap. And better revenue sharing among all teams. That floor would be the Twins highest payroll ever. However, with the current front office I have little faith they would spend it wisely. At least it would be closer to a level playing field.

One note on those numbers, it includes benefits, which I think is around $20M.

Hopefully they end up with something like the owners proposal, but maybe a little more like the NBA. Bird rights so you can exceed the cap for a home grown player. Maybe some luxury tax aprons.

As a Twins fan, I love that both the players and owners want to pool local media rights.

I think the biggest sticking point for the players might be how the computer league revenue. The owners will try to keep something out of that math so that it's not actually a 50/50 split.

Agree. The only hope is that a Twins buyer emerges after waiting out the ‘27 strike.
