I used to work with someone (in the 90s, so it was a while ago...) who said her house was always on the market. She had a price, realtors knew what it was - and it was above market. She had showings from time to time, but it was never intended to be a "I want to sell my house", but more of a "If someone shows up and hands me this much money, I will happily find a new place". Said another way, it can be true that Pohlad is "excited and invested in the future of the franchise" and also if a limited partner shows up with a Brinks truck full of cash, he will happily take it and walk away. Both things can be true. It could also be similar to the Joe Pohlad situation - it was obvious he didn't want to sell, but he is not the only one with a vote in the matter...

I think we all want the team to be better. Always, right? In order to add, someone has to go. Plenty of places to cut from in order to have the roster space for additions. With a winnable central division, I don't want them to trade the stars away. I just really like Jeffers anyway, so I don't want to see him go and would love them to sign an extension. Caratini proved he's capable while Jeffers was out. I get that. I'd still rather keep Jeffers. Now we've also been here long enough to say that Cheap Pohlad gonna Cheap Pohlad, and if there's a dollar to be saved in a lost season, it will be saved. But we're not at "lost season" yet, and the new Pohlad promises to be different. Let's see if he puts his money where his mouth is.

Dear Philadelphia. Duran and Jax actually play for... Uhm... Tampa Bay. Yeah. Go trade with them. Xoxo, Twins Territory.

I enjoy Cory Provus. He would do a great job in the role. However, I don't see a big difference between Bremer and Provus. If the intent is truly to go in a different direction, I don't see Provus being that change. But I also don't know what a new direction looks like to the Twins. Is it just getting someone younger? Is it someone more statistically minded? I saw Bremer as being welcoming to the new trends in baseball, so I still fail to see the goal. If Erik were the choice to take over for Dick, you would think they would've buttoned that up and announced it all together. 100% in for Marney on the call. Without knowing the problem they're trying to solve, I'm not sure we can make any serious guesses - but it's fun to think about. Also, Gleeman and the Geek should absolutely start doing live podcasts during games. Ignore the fact that Gleeman is already busy writing about the game and the Geek is already 3 beers deep at first pitch...
