Book of Joe: LA Dodgers Executive Josh Byrnes

The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon welcoming LA Dodgers Executive Josh Byrnes to the show.  The MLB Draft is around the corner and no one is better at talent evaluation than Josh.  We walk through how Josh started in Cleveland and found himself in Los Angeles.  Tom explores the process of identifying and nurturing prospects into a team's system. Josh gives his thoughts on using technology in the game and where he'd draw the line with its involvement. Even with the Dodgers payroll, Josh explains how important the Draft is for the team. We wrap up with 'A Reading from the Book of Joe' and a story of how Joe got his first job as a scout. The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio. #FSR See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
