I’m a sucker for behind the scenes stuff. I love it when drips and drabs of news leak out about a baseball team’s front office operations. The rumors are cool, but I find the process fascinating. Remember when the New York Times revealed that Brian Cashman employs GIFs during trade negotiations? That is my favorite.
Yesterday, the Yankees peeled the curtain back on their analytics department with a video called Behind the Seams: The Blueprint. Running about 11 minutes long, it provides tremendous insight into how the front office operates. Cashman, Damon Oppenheimer, and Kevin Reese are among the various executives interviewed.
