I guess I just disagree with the connection here. I think it is a very fair question to discuss payroll and how it correlates with ownership's commitment to putting a quality product on the field (although I personally am sick of the topic). But how the ongoing business that is the Minnesota Twins is conducted and how one man's estate was organized for tax purposes are two entirely different things. I don't think the second topic tells us anything about the first. I own stock in GE. When I die that stock will be a part of my estate. But how my estate is settled will have no bearing or impact on how GE runs its business in the future. Now, if you want to look at how other businesses owned by the Pohlads are run and use that as evidence for a profit mentality, that is a legitimate comparison. But estate planning tells us nothing about how a person or family runs their ongoing businesses.
