Three years ago, as our book was getting ready to launch, we wrote a blog series to count down the 25 best GMs in baseball history.
As our paperback is going to be released this spring, we are writing a new blog series to discuss 25 “Important Moments in Team Building.” This series will run chronologically and, if read in order, will provide a broad history of the changes to the game that have effected player movement and the general manager.
The series wills start on Monday, January 29, and (hopefully) will run for 25 consecutive week days. Thanks for reading!
