Someone should compile all of the letters they have released over the past 35 years saying this exact phrase and put them side by side on a billboard across from Target Field. The Pohlads are such clowns.

I said the same thing when they did the fire sale a couple weeks ago. Vowed I would come back once the Pohlad's are gone. This just reinforces it. Zero reason to waste a minute of my time or money on them. It sucks.
I think what irks me the most is the justification for the fire sale was to dump the debt and sell the team.
Now they pull out the rug and are committed to building a winning team. Do they think we have the memory of a goldfish? So the fire sale was a bait and switch? Just a joke of an ownership. I've switched to going to Saints game whenever i'm in the mood for local baseball.
Why? So the Pohlads can make them be the ones that have to go out and explain the cheap moves like they're actual strategy rather than Falvey?
Getting their names tangled up in this mess would be an all-time PR blunder.
Just hope this is another message from the Pohlads that we shouldn’t believe.
Holding out hope that the next communication from them in February says “After receiving an unexpected, but substantial offer for the franchise, we are announcing the sale of the Minnesota Twins.”

They did try to have them contracted in 2001. Making them cease to exist is about as bad as moving them.
Not sleeping with your secretary and having your wife give you an ultimatum of either moving the team or airing out the affair is a pretty low bar.
**** Norm green.
Clearly the Pohlads could not find anyone dumb enough to buy the team and it's huge debt. Nobody wants to buy a team that loses money. They are going to be the new Oakland A's minus the move to Vegas.
The Pohlads are the delusional homeowner who renovated their kitchen back in the 90s and wants top dollar for their home today because they've refinanced so many times they have almost no equity in it any longer.
Yes, the Pohlads are cheap and have debt on the books with the Twins. But I don’t buy the narrative that they can’t afford to do more. When they do find their $1.7 billion buyer, it will be a nice return on daddy’s $44 million dollar investment.
I wasn't against public funding for Target Field and absolutely loved the upgrade over the awful Metrodome, but the Pohlads promised reinvestment in the team because of it. Those of us in Minneapolis would like a word....
Carl's first jobs were as a used car salesman and foreclosing on farms. I suppose we all should've seen this coming a mile away.

Not unexpected given what's been reported about their search to sell the team. What they wanted/needed to sell it for was more than the club was worth. The hope now would be that the limited partnership groups are made up of people that are interested in winning and push the Pohlads that way, with the help of the infusion of capital into the club from the minority ownership sales.
It's also not unprecedented for an announcement like this to be made and then a sale happens a few months later. That would obviously be the best case scenario.
