To be clear, the first two items cited here would be motivations for the parent club, while the last would be a motivation for the farm team's ownership. For example, while its true that (as mentioned) the Twins were looking to move their AAA players to a new home a couple years ago, the reason Rochester was available is that the Redwings were sick of being a part of a poorly-run Orioles system.
