Revitalizing San Francisco, High Hopes for Boston Celtics

Hosts Michael Barr, Scarlet Fu and Damian Sassower welcome San Francisco Giants president and CEO Larry Baer. They discuss what's next for the franchise  after a disappointing season where it missed the playoffs and let go of manager Gabe Kapler. Baer also details his role as chair of Advance SF, an organization dedicated to revitalizing San Francisco.  They also speak with Boston Celtics majority owner and Governor Wyc Grousbeck from the Greenwich Economic Forum to discuss the team's chances heading into this season following the acquisition of Jrue Holiday, the future of the league's increasingly valuable media rights, and some of his own upcoming projects and plans outside of basketball. We also hear from Aston Martin executive chairman Lawrence Stroll to discuss how the British luxury carmaker is making a big push into racing, including joining Formula One, as part of a plan to appeal to a younger customer base. He speaks with Bloomberg TV hosts Guy Johnson and Alix Steel.  See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
