Tom Pohlad is upset that we don’t have Mickey Gasper anymore. Simple as that.
I do feel bad for Falvey. He had a good vision, and I think a lot of our player development issues have been bad luck more than poor drafting. It would be very hard to run an organization where your long term plans of increasing payroll to supplement core players are suddenly jerked out from underneath you. I suspect that he had an idea of spending some money, and ownership is not approving. So, does he really want another losing season on his resumé when it’s not the roster he wanted, or does he “mutually” agree to leave to save face for both parties?
