Summary

Welcome in to a mailbag episode! You ask the questions and I answer them! Someone asked me if I were president of a high revenue team would I start my Shohei Ohtani pitch now or is it too early? (13:45) Someone asked me about the roles in a front office: President, VP, GM, etc. (27:45) Someone asked me about service time and exactly how it works: bring up a player, send them down, end season on big league roster, but start next season in AAA. (39:45) Someone asked me about naming rights deals for fields and if there is any ROI on these. Thank you all for your questions! We're going to need a lot more for July so keep on sending them!
