Dave St Peter is stepping down and other front office moves today.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

I’m still skeptical they’re all that serious about selling the team, the moves they’ve made personnel wise & hinting they want to sell has provided a nice smoke screen though to obscure their disastrous finish to the season

None of the moves matter until the purse strings are loosened.  Until then its just shuffling the same deck of cards.

Round and around and around we go.

Every year in Jan/Feb I ask if the Twins have signed any big pitchers in the off season.  It's always in jest because they never have.  I think the Pohlads just like to be able to say they own a franchise and walk around thinking they're important.  But they will never be true sports team owners outside of the plaques they have their staff make and hang on the wall.  A real owner makes moves to put their team in contention.  The Pohlads make moves to maximize profit and this team will never be anything more than a giant laundromat to them.  Every now and then they come in and pull coins out of the machines, but there is no pride or connection or desire to make the team more than any other business.

 

F them.

 

Meanwhile the other three teams have legit superstars in JJ, Anthony Edwards, and Kaprisov.  They trade up.  They pay.  They win.  Most importantly, they don't settle.

@bertogliat Well stated! Agree 100%. Craig, Ziggy & the Wolves cabal have plenty of faults, but at least get it as Pro Sports owners. By contrast, the Pohlads operate as you describe (above).

There should be an asterisk next to the Wolves….
