		<description><![CDATA[Pretty much everything is just a rumor, right now. The people who actually &quot;know&quot; aren&#039;t allowed to say much. 

I&#039;ve heard that the Wings and Twins have some mutual interst, too, J-Dog. I think it&#039;s in their respective bests interests to stick it out another 2 years anyway. The Wings&#039; beat writer, Jim Mandelaro, has certainly been critical of the Twins and many of his readers apparently are ready to move on to another affiliation. But the grass isn&#039;t necessarily always greener elsewhere. The Mets have been kicked out of several AAA cities in the past decade or two, so obviously there would be some risk to Rochester in making a switch.]]></description>
