We were pleased to exchange questions with Jacob Schneider of E Pluribus Loonum, SB Nation’s Minnesota United blog ahead of our meeting on Saturday.
1) It seems like the Fire got Francisco Calvo for a song, and rumors are that he’s a headcase in the locker room and generally, the team seems to be glad to be rid of him. What’s the real story, and did the Fire FO get scammed?
From a team PR perspective, I’ll keep the comments on Calvo brief. Francisco Calvo is an extremely talented player but we never had the ability to exploit his full potential.
