The Pohlad boys are spending more and at a faster rate than Carl Pohlad ever did. While it might not help the Twins much, there's another thing they can do to spend money before making money. If they really want to exorcise the ghost of loathsome ownership past, they could give the tax payers a "Buy Five, Get One Free" deal on a new soccer stadium (ponying up 40 of the probable $120 million it will take to build a soccer specific stadium behind the Minneapolis Basillica and trusting their fellow billionaire owners--Taylor/McGuire--to follow suit)
Sidenote: I understand the critiques levied by many other fans against the "spending spree" of the last two years. Namely that while the Twins are spending more, they still aren't spending anything close to what the other teams in the league are doing. However, that piece of context misses the historical context of our own setting.
