WOW.....Maddon starting to move into AROD territory for pissing off the league office for this announcements. He announced his release from his contract on the day of a game....and now, rumors are floating that he has a deal in place with the Cubs on the day of the 7th game.

Will he and the cubs announce a deal around 7 pm this evening?

Bud would have a coronary.

I mean look at the NFL; they never want multiple news stories going.

And the Twins......

It feels like the ticking stopwatch from 60 minutes.......

When will the show finish and the announcement made??????

Probably will be some time so that TR can convince Bruce Bochy to leave the Giants and come manage MN.

The national spotlight will be solely focused on MN as people around the country (and world) breathlessly await the announcement of the new Twins manager and coaching staff.

It will have the attention the NFL gets on draft day.

Half of baseball fans will say ...."minnesota still has a team?"
The other half will say .... "Tom Kelly is finally done there?"

Won't be though. He'll be a Twin in 3-4 years, when he should be retired.

that would be great....would love to see Hunter get a WS ring playing for KC.

That would probably kill off Dick Bremer.

I hate to say it, but I think the Royals missed their best chance at a ring. They may make the playoffs again soon...or they may not. The stars were aligned this year. Other teams will always spend more. And their front office is not as brilliant as others. It's gonna be tough. The saving grace is they are in a not-so-good division. There will always be teams better than the Royals. I think Royals fans know it's a long-shot that they ever have excitement like this again in their lifetimes.

Yep.

The reason the were good this year and probably will be for a few years, is that they were so bad for so long that they were able to stockpile a lot of young talent. That talent will be leaving in droves in the next few years.

and then they will be bad again.

They'll stick around long enough to get a ring.

The Rays are considering filing tampering charges, according to the Tampa Bay Times, as they believe Epstein enticed Maddon to opt out of his final contract year.

Good. I hate the Cubs. Hope they lose draft picks and are forced to send prospects to the Rays.

I'm hoping so as well. Theo is pretty cocky. Take him down a notch.
