A lot of good stuff here:

I particularly like the following quote:

“I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”

Decent interview — no real specifics, but certainly some level of additional investment into the team, stadium and community will be happening.

I guess I’m glad I’m hearing about his optimism without grandiose promises.

I don’t know if we’ll be signing or extending a whole bunch during this upcoming Hot Stove season, but I do think we’re about to find out how serious the new ownership group is about taking the team to the next level.

Nice article. I’ve settled into an expectation that they’re willing to spend money, but I don’t expect that they’re willing to set the market. I’d be thrilled to see them pounce on a TOR starter when free agency begins, but that seems pretty unlikely…..they’ll probably hang back and see who’s available after the initial feeding frenzy.

TOR starter, bullpen piece or two, RHB to balance out the lineup and Gunnar contract extension would be a dream offseason. At the very least they need the first three even if they don’t get what would be considered a true TOR starting pitcher.
