Per Shooter:
First was when Michael Bloomberg, reportedly worth more than $100 billion, joined Lore and Rodriguez to infuse cash for ownership. Secondly, last fall while the arbitration hearing was underway, Taylor’s lawyers quietly subpoenaed the NBA for records and assorted documents, which couldn’t have delighted the league.
>> No doubt Lore, and not Rodriguez, will be controlling owner if the Wolves-Lynx sale becomes official. And it wouldn’t be surprising if Lore decides he doesn’t need Rodriguez and his baseball steroid-past as a partner.
>> Since Taylor agreed to sell to Lore and Rodriguez nearly four years ago, the value of the Wolves-Lynx has doubled. Taylor told the Pioneer Press two years ago that he had no reqrets about his decision to sell, that he had made his decision with the information he had at the time.
>> Before the outcome of the arbitration hearing, Taylor was asked by the Pioneer Press if he would be interested in buying the Twins. He said he would need to resolve his arbitration before considering the Twins.
>> If Lore and Rodriguez end up with the Wolves-Lynx, it’s certain they will seek public financing for a new arena. NBA arenas now cost at least $1 billion to build. One site that has been quietly mentioned for the Wolves-Lynx is just southeast from Mall of America in Bloomington.
>> A little birdie says Kevin Garnett will become part of the Timberwolves’ front office as soon as it’s official that Lore and Rodriguez get ownership.

Charley Walters: Not so fast on Twins’ sale by Pohlads
There has been misguided reporting elsewhere that a sale of the Minnesota Twins is expected to be done by Opening Day this season.
