you dont get rich by paying ppl more than minimum wage

Maybe if more of these headlines make it to the public, Pohlad will open up his check book for the Twins after they open their (tax payer paid) new stadium.

How about that? All the crap about the Yanks spending too much and having to much money. The here is this guy who hordes his money and sleeps in it. Who is the evil empire? TWINS

Wow very interesting.

I thought we already knew this and knew Pohland was a cheapskate who hoards his yearly donation from Big George? Oh well...

His son is no better either. Twins need new management but the Marlins can do it, so why not them; that is Pohlad's motto.

Wow interesting spin, I'm glad that I'm not a Twins fan.

Started his fortune by foreclosing on farms during the depression. Hope someone holds the door open for him when he rolls his wheelchair into hell.

Twins fans should go camp out in front of that old ****'s mansion until he gives Santana the money he deserves.

So "b*stard" gets censored but "douchenozzle" doesn't?

It seems that more and more, we are ahead of the curve.

and this is news?.......

What a nightmare this butt monkey Pohlad has been for the poor fans of the Twins...

They have a team that fights every obstacle this joker throws in front of it and still somehow competes. Now they have to think of this whining old woman of an owner counting his greasy greenbacks while he giggles with Selig as they paint each others toes and crab about "greedy" players.....

Yea, and Phi Knight is a feckin' billionaire because he pays most of his employees shiney rocks and sticks....

What a prick. I'm the richest owner in major league baseball yet I refuse to keep my team intact. Instead I'm going to trade away all my best players and then just put a team like the Marlins out there with rookies at every position. I'm not a twins fan, but still at least Loria has a semi excuse for not spending money, hes the poorest owner in all of baseball.

This is not true, the owner of the Jays (Edward "Ted" Rogers) is worth $4.9 Billion.

Are you questioning the authenticity of the NY Times??????

i am showing you proof...

This would be groundbreaking....I can see the headlines now:

Common everyday joe finds flaw in NY Paper's research....George Mitchell pledges to launch 5 year probe!!!!!!!!!

Dateline 2012:

Mitchell probe reveals two conclusions:

1) George Mitchell has been dead since the Regan Administration
2) NY Times has been "outsourcing" their editorial work to Kazakastan since 2001

I hope everyone understands now why "rich" teams like the Yankees resent having to send checks to billionaires who don't re-invest in their teams.

If I'm Pohlad, I'd rather get a check from Steinbrenner than have to make money the old-fashioned way. Why not?
