Todd, Carl Pohlad is universally thought of as one of the worst owners in all of sports. Beyond offering the team up to be contracted a few years ago, he is by far the richest owner in baseball and routinely lets his free agents walk. As for the tremendous money you claim he put into the stadium you clearly have missed the boat on this. Do you know how long it has taken for this stadium to be built? Do you know why it has taken this long? I would suggest doing a simple internet search to review the thousands of articles and polls taken which confirm this and the fact that Pohlad is despised for his cheapness.

As for Twins' players angry about ownership's failure to retain free agents and spend what is needed to win, here's an interview with Santana: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20071420/

As for Hunter, all I can note is that he publicly begged ownership to extend his contract previously and they refused. He then refused to even attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new stadium.
