He will be covering the Twins independently, apparently the Athletic wanted him to cease covering the Twins and he said good luck and good bye

The Athletic has become a shell of itself under the Times' umbrella. A lot of click bait. Reminds me of the dying days of SB Nation, with management increasingly making editorial decisions and appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Aaron has built up such good will I'd imagine he could survive simply on a Patreon and Substack at this point, and good for him.

If there are enough Twins' fans left.

A lot like the Fegan situation, albeit Gleeman both a longer history as a writer/blogger and quite a national following/reputation as well.

Another good AL Central beat writer fumbled by The Athletic. He's been my go-to for keeping up with what's going on in Twins world, even though I'm (obviously) not a Twins fan.

But I agree that he should find enough support to keep it going independently, and props to him for trying rather than ditching the team.

He's one of the original's - remember he was doing it back when SoxNet was in its infancy and before Soxtalk had spun up.
