Inside the Business of the Minnesota Twins

Описание: To understand the Twins payroll situation, you have to understand the business of baseball. And if you want to understand the business of baseball, you need to understand how debt works for a team like this one. This week on The Twin Cities Business Show, we sit down with our Editor Adam Platt to talk to him about his interview and the business of the Minnesota Twins.

For our latest print issue, our Adam Platt sat down with the Twins new owner, Tom Pohlad, to discuss his plans and where the team is at. A recent survey from The Athletic showed that only 4% of the team’s fan base was optimistic about this season – though that number came out before Taj Bradley turned into Johan Santana for the first two weeks.

The Twins lost millions of dollars from their local TV deal in the past few years. Adam takes us through how that happened and how it’s impacted the team’s finances.

Major League Baseball might be headed for a strike or a work stoppage at the end of this year. How could that impact the Twins? Adam shares with his view on how the possibility of a strike might be impacting the payroll for this year’s team.
