Cincinnati Enquirer Reds beat writer C. Trent Rosecrans welcomes author Dan Leavitt to the C Dot Show, as the two discuss his new book “In Pursuit of Pennants: Baseball Operations from Deadball to Moneyball.” We talked about how the role has changed over time, as well as his rankings on his blog of the Top 25 general managers of all time, including current Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty, who comes in at No. 15. Bob Howsam, GM of the Big Red Machine, is No. 4. But first, C. Trent sits down with fellow Enquirer beat writer John Fay to discuss the Reds’ spring training through the middle of March.
