Commish Talks

Hello and Welcome back to Commish Talks!!

In today’s episode of Commish Talks Josh and I sit down to discuss the logistics of the American Association’s partnership with the MLB.

While there are still several things up in the air surrounding the partnership the most important thing to know is that the American Association will maintain its governance structure separate from the MLB and the quality of the fan experience will be the same if not better than it’s been in the past.

We hope you enjoy :)
