The noticeably small crowds for a big series against Cleveland this week weren’t overlooked by Minnesota Twins owner Tom Pohlad, who appears to recognize that investment and a consistent push from ownership are required to win back the team’s fanbase.On Thursday, Pohlad continued to suggest that the Twins would be much more aggressive with acquisitions in the future. Adding payroll, making moves that attract fans and winning are paramount to turning around the fortunes of a franchise that has lost touch with its fans, he said.“We’ve got to put a better product on the field,” Pohlad said to a group of reporters. “There does need to be an upfront investment made. But when we make an investment, we have to be successful. We have to f—ing win. If we do that, then people will come and it will all work.”Even though the club won two of three games against the Cleveland Guardians, its seventh series victory in eight tries, the Twins only drew 54,935 fans to Target Field for the critical series. Currently, a team that sits two games back of Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central standings ranks 12th of 15 in league attendance.With the trade deadline still 24 days away, Pohlad won’t publicly commit to a direction for the Twins. He can’t, because committing now would be foolhardy. If Pohlad said ‘We’re going to buy’ and the Twins fell flat, it would potentially put general manager Jeremy Zoll in an awkward spot.But it’s evident Pohlad, who took over as the team’s point man in mid-December, prefers to be in a spot where the Twins could add and try to win this season. The Twins seem unlikely to mortgage their future by trading prospects like Walker Jenkins or Kaelen Culpepper, but should have the necessary resources to acquire players if Zoll identifies the right deal in late July/August.Though he’s discouraged by the turnout against Cleveland, Pohlad said the team can’t currently center its plans on fan involvement and instead needs to do more to attract them.
