Recorded 9/19/20: I sat down (over skype) with longtime baseball agent and current head of baseball for The Octagon Agency, Alan Nero. We talked about how Bud Selig gave him the nudge he needed to start his own agency, how he started placing players on Asian teams, and keys to a good negotiation.

Baseball is a game of tradition. It has remained largely unchanged for over 100 years, and it's easy to think that the players on the field are just as traditional as the game itself. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Today's game is filled with some of the most interesting and exciting personalities in the history of baseball. On-field, off-field and everything in between, enjoy a conversation among baseball people, and get to know the players and the game you already thought you knew.
