How are the prospects going to eat, pay the rent? And can you imagine any other billionaire owned business that invests so little in its business? Giants so far excepted.

Good conversation- thanks. But I’m not sure I caught your opinions about the Giants’ situation with the shrinking minor leagues. The mention that the Giants have provided housing for players in Augusta: did Kevin think that meant that the Giants would make every attempt to keep their 4th team there? Or was he saying that east coast teams would try to force the Giants to take over some place like Boise so that they wouldn’t be forced to have a team in the western U.S.?

And what do you think about where the Giants will have teams in 2021?

Well we both think the Giants would prefer to continue their association with Augusta, but Kevin thought there was some chance that MLB forces them to join an A ball team made from some remains of the NWL and Pioneer leagues

Thanks - that was my best guess, but I wasn’t certain. That doesn’t seem fair to the organization. How did Luhnow become so powerful? And wasn’t he part of the ex-StL Houston cheating scandal that got a guy fired for computer hacking (essentially)?
