The Book of Joe: Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo

In this episode of 'The Book of Joe' Podcast, Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci welcome Nationals GM Mike Rizzo to the podcast!  Mike talks about being a player under Joe Maddon and how his career went from playing to being in the front office.  We touch on blending old school and new methods to improve scouting and player evaluations.  Joe stresses how he prefers leadership by empowerment, not leadership by control. We wrap up by honoring Ed Kranepool and James Earl Jones, noting their contributions to the baseball community.
