Summary
Details

"Managing the Show is a revealing look and behind the scenes details of the responsibilities of Major League Baseball's general managers.

Tune in to any MLB broadcast, radio, TV or streaming and you will hear broadcasters and reporters including ""The Show,"" in their reporting.

One of the side effects of the ""Moneyball"" era has been the glamorization (and, at times, charm, and obsession) of baseball's general manager position. Baseball general managers are the ones responsible for managing the show. Let's take a look inside that.

We as fans think we know what to do and we think we know what is going through the head of an MLB general manager, but we really don't. We don't until now. Managing the Show - Inside the Daily Responsibilities of Major League Baseball's General Managers, opens up the world of baseball general management and pulls back the curtain of what really happens in baseball and inside the world of a baseball general manager.

This book shares information on how baseball's general managers work to further develop their show. Just like armchair quarterbacks in football, we as true baseball fans put ourselves in the shoes of the team's general manager, at least in our own minds or in hot stove league conversations abound. Now it's time to get out of that armchair and see the real story.

The book consists of stories and interviews with former and current baseball general managers at the Major League Baseball level.

This book is written for the baseball fan."
