Twins vs Tigers sets the scene for Pierson Ohl’s season arc as a potential opener/long relief option, with the writer noting his varied pitch mix and the absence of a knuckleball. The piece then broadens into a critique of big-money baseball: stadium leases through 2040, ownership struggles, premium seating, and TV deals, arguing these forces shape roster decisions and fan experience. A reflective detour on youth pitching and the allure of the game closes the piece, underscoring a longing to enjoy baseball beyond money and media.
