Russo was asked again on his podcast (Worst Seats), this time at a live show, about Rossi and contract extension/trade. He said the following (paraphrasing):
-Brass sees the improvements he has made this year
-Likely waiting till the offseason to see how the cap ceiling situation plays out (planning for Kap extension that would kick in the year after)
-Rossi camp is open to both long term and short term (not sure if this is a gut feeling or actual reporting)
-The only way they trade him is if it is a no brainer deal for the Wild
Breathe easy Rossi Stans. Seems like Rossi will be here at least a few more years.
This also sounds like someone got fed up with Russo’s prior reporting and set him straight.
