    An inept and embarrassing ownership. There's your lane

    No one is defending extreme racism.

    Once again, Calvin said some stupid things. Just so you know a lot of people said and still do say stupid things. That doesn't mean they are trash. Most of us were happy when Calvin sold - he was a dinosaur who's time had passed. Little did we know what we bargained for. .

    After a period of time Rod Carew said he did not believe Calvin was racist. He brought him to his office and said he would trade him to the Angels because he couldn't pay him what he was worth. Carew said a racist wouldn't have done that. Calvin, for all his flaws has been wrongly smeared. It was time for him to sell when he did, but it's unfortunate it was the Pohlads.

    Ridiculous. You are denying who the Pohlads are. For all of Calvin's flaws he did love baseball and sold it out of necessity. He brought the franchise here and hated selling the team. I've watched and supported the Twins since the 70's so I have every right to point a finger at ownership. They tore down the wrong statue.

    Any defense of the Correa signing is baffling. No team would take him in a trade with that contract. He's being paid more than twice what he's worth considering the amount of games he misses. He was damaged when they signed him. Everyone who pays attention knows that.

    "It has been suggested by some, myself included, that it is entirely possible that the Twins - across their entire franchise - lose tens of millions of dollars on a cash basis annually." Really. That defies logic. If that were the case it would be public knowledge. They bought the team for $33 million from Calvin. What's it worth now? They are not baseball people and if they are losing tens of millions annually it suits their financial objectives. They won the two world series primarily from players obtained during Calvin's ownership and stumbled accross the boy wonder, Andy MacPhail, who made a few deft trades.

    The Correa signing was one of the biggest blunders in Twins history. He can give Rocco all the death stares he wants. He was and is damaged goods. 30 million/year for what?

    Brilliant. The Pohlads have never been baseball people. Even Carl who was so honored at his funeral was never a baseball guy - ready to contract or sell the team to be moved to North Carolina. It was and is strictly business. If they're confused about low attendance, real baseball fans are not.
