…. Knock, knock.
The Minnesota Twins’ long-time GM, Terry Ryan, has just left the team. Ummmm….
Dear Mr. Magowan,
Please, please, please, fire Brian Sabean, and turn over the entire baseball operation to Mr. Ryan, who has demonstrated a terrific grasp of every single aspect of team management that our current GM has not. From drafting talent, to organizing and planning development of draftees, to minor league systems, to player apporach, and finally, building and managing a contending team through different eras; Mr. Ryan has excelled.
He is the perfect man for the job of taking this team through the next several years and beyond. Change is good. Change captains. now.
Thank you,
John J Perricone

bad news john
buzz is that ryan is only stepping down from his gm duties, but is staying with the twinkies in a consulting role, mostly working in scouting
guess this was a really amiacable split
so no hope in getting ryan and dumping sabean
That’s true. Ryan is going to work with his successor and protégé. The Twins also have Tom Kelly on the payroll. Ryan and Kelly, perhaps the best GM and MGR, respectively, the team has ever known, are in the background, helping the current guys. Not a bad pair of consultants.
Perhaps for the right offer, Ryan can be persuaded to come to Philadelphia, as Pat Giillick is eased into a more suitable position, such as supine.
This franchise is just silly.
