The Book of Joe Podcast begins with Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon discussing meeting fans while on the road doing book signings. While the AL MVP will likely be awarded to Aaron Judge, Tom doesn't want the greatness of Shohei Ohtani to be even slightly overlooked. As Ohtani's former manager, Joe looks at what next for the phenom and his upcoming free agency. We move to the impact more experienced managers are having on baseball and how they turn knowledge of the game into success. Tom reveals a system Dusty Baker uses to find his most reliable hitter. Meanwhile, the Astros are looking for a GM and we could see a philosophy change for the team. Speaking of change, teams will be looking to add 'glue guys' to rosters. Who are they and what do they do?
The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.
