Falvey is a lapdog for ownership, who are basically the Judge from The Natural. Completely uninterested in winning except as a side benefit of their frugal “we tried!” bullshit.Decent try? They were nowhere close. Falvey just completely blew it. How did he not see the market for what it was? He's so over his head. /twinsfaninsoxfanmode
What is so frustrating is that they neither focus on developing young players (pitchers, especially), nor build through free agency. Nor even attempt some sort of hybrid of one big star surrounded by young players. They trade away for mid-tier player rentals, and sign FA leftovers to 1-2 year deals. It’s like rooting for a college team.
They could dominate the Twin Cities sports scene; they’re already probably #1with theVikings, but having a sustainable plan for success and seeing it through would be enough to shake the malaise that’s been on this team since 2019 (and that was a blip). The Twin Cities has a pretty big fan base and ample money (5th most Fortune 500 companies out of US Cities, as many as San Francisco), but ownership runs the team like its in Buffalo or something.
