Part 2/8:
Under the ownership of the POAD family, the Twins have become emblematic of the pitfalls facing small-market teams. Although there have been fleeting moments of success, the overriding sentiment from fans and analysts has been dissatisfaction with the family's financial management and lack of a long-term vision for the team's success.
The franchise has often been criticized for prioritizing profit over performance, with fans accusing the ownership of failing to invest in both player acquisition and development. As a result, the Twins have gained a reputation as a team that cannot compete, leading to a dwindling fanbase and a toxic atmosphere surrounding the organization.
