Can we use his life insurance payout to get a decent 3rd baseman? “Regardless of what you thought of Pohlad the man or the owner when he was alive, dancing on someone’s grave is crass at best.”

After all, being a racist and a cheapskate isn't half as bad as being just a cheapskate. Ask Rod Carew which Twins owner treated him better.

I think he was a shrewd businessman and an okay owner. When you have to compete with the Steinbrenners and New York without salary caps, I think the way everything went down regarding running the Twins was actually fairly well done.
