Gee...I wonder if a new managing partner would help.

I hope so. I can't remember being less into opening day.

Probably the right way to go but this has absolutely no entertainment value. I find it hard to cheer for Jerry's wallet.

I agree with your points. If we are going to spend like a small market team...we need this slow rebuild while fixing the organization. It would be twice as fast with a different owner IMO.

I think baseball rules require a team to score at least 1 run to win a game. Maybe that has changed while I wasn't watching.

JR thinks a whole roster of cast-offs will be ultra-entaining for the fans to watch. Pathetic!

Yep... the only reason to tune in.

I know it's getting late but I always thought this deal would close by the end of ST. Just makes no sense for JR to hang on to his "managing partner" title while doing nothing to improve this club. He can give up operational control while having little or no tax consequences.

That would be Courtney Hawkins

My dropping MLB.TV has probably gotten through to JR that the time is now.

Yep...the golden age for owners...not so much for fans.

Can be done and should be done.

"Unburdened by what has been."

Yeah, it has really been a great run. It will be hard for the next owner to top it.😗

This is my take on what's happening.

Yeah...all of it.

If all minority owners take the offer...the fix is in.

Amen

Imagine buying a team and letting JR manage your investment for a few years. I don't think so.

Ishbia is not investing all this money to answer to anyone. I will be surprised if Ishbia isn't calling the shots by opening day.

Ishiba did not give up his Twins pursuit for the right of first refusal, in my opinion.

Hope not.

I would be shocked if Ishbia isn't named managing partner within days. He would own 60% or more. It doesn't make sense that a billionaire businessman owns the majority of stock, but let's JR do things his way. Jerry can be a minority owner without selling out and creating whatever tax ramifications there might be. This whole thing has been worked out with the minority owners long before we heard word one, IMO.

Obvious they have a deal worked out IMO.

I agree but that has been JR's stance as I understand it.
