CohnReznick to serve as Presenting Sponsor of all Winter Meetings coverage across MLB media
December 3, 2019 – MLB Club front office executives Jon Daniels (Texas Rangers), Mike Hill (Miami Marlins), Jed Hoyer (Chicago Cubs) and Thad Levine (Minnesota Twins) will give a first-hand description of a day in the life of the modern general manager in a special episode of Business of Baseball presented by CohnReznick on MLB Network this Saturday, December 7 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Moderated by MLB Network host Brian Kenny and analyst and former GM Dan O’Dowd, the GM roundtable discussion will cover how advancements in analytics have impacted the decision-making process for front offices across the industry; whether front offices will follow the formula the Washington Nationals used to win the 2019 World Series; and what on-field tactics could be implemented in the future of the game.
The program is part of MLB Network’s Business of Baseball series presented by CohnReznick, and excerpts from the discussion will be featured across MLB Network programming this week.
