I mean those are like the biggest MLB teams so that makes sense. What region are you living in? I’m guessing Yokohama but like I’d assume maybe Hiroshima would have some twins fans because of Kenta Maeda

They would follow the player not the team. Since he isn’t on the Twins anymore (and the team hasnt made the playoffs in a few years) any interest that was generated is lost.

Bottom line: the twins have no reason to be popular in Japan and therefore aren’t.
