  1. I repeat: the asset that the patriarch tried to cash in 23 years ago is now the crown jewel of the Pohlad Companies' solvency. That asset will maintain its monetary value no matter how much of its interior is gutted. So why bother with scenarios?
  2. Irony (n.) -- 1. The Pohlad Companies holding hostage for solvency purposes an asset that the company patriarch was happy to dispense with in 2002 at one-tenth its current market value.
  3. Maybe Derek can't get a job anywhere else in MLB. Self-preservation may explain it all.
  4. Short term results matter more than ever? Not if a further salary dump is coming. The Pohlads are today's version of Harry Frazee. Their overall corporate business model is in deep trouble, so they've attached their debts to their one fixed asset that appreciates in value regardless of how many tickets are sold. Until the Pohlads' ransom is paid, the only momentum for the Twins is downward. Firing Rocco was necessary, but it is largely cosmetic.
  5. Somebody please pay the Pohlads' ransom. Then I'll care.
  6. Pohlads not selling? Then Cody is absolutely right. And in the words of Gordon Lightfoot, fellas, it's been good to know you. Bye.
  7. The missed opportunities have been frequent the past two seasons no matter who is wearing a Twins uniform. That strikes me as the root of the team's problems as much as anything else. So I find it pointless to allocate blame for this among the Pohlads, Derek Falvey and Rocco Baldelli. This rudderless refrain will continue until ALL of them depart the stage. Nothing will change until the club is sold.
  8. This feels like the closing day of the Supreme Court term when all the big case decisions come at once...except that we don't know all the cases.
  9. Not by the Pohlads, certainly. But if LaVelle Neal's info is accurate, that era will soon end, followed hopefully by the departures of Falvey and Baldelli. Until the ownership and team leadership changes, nothing here merits optimism. First things first. Wishing CC4 the best in his homecoming.
  10. Tariff levies. Twins personnel strategy. The Magic 8 Ball reliably predicts both.
  11. Until the Pohlad family sells the club, lather, rinse and repeat. A fixed payroll constraint explains this better than any alternative.
