On this episode of Porch Beers, Brett asks Dr. Trogdon about investing in another human's future earning potential. The conversation was tipped off by Brett learning about a company called Big League Advance (which invests in some minor league baseball players), but snowballed into the larger idea of venture capital and investing in people versus companies. Trog talks about comparable industries that are also investing in a person's future earning other than just baseball, the concept of risk, and income smoothing over your lifetime. Along the way, Trog talks about trusting adults to make good financial decisions in the short and long term. He also breaks down the ethical side of companies and governments lending or investing in people. Porch Beers is a series of casual episodes, where Brett asks Trog a question or two cold, that he hasn't heard prior to the conversation. Like most conversations they have over a beverage, Trog doesn't know what will be asked of him at the time. His vast expertise of finance and economic theory is put to the test when he's asked for advice or clarity on the topics discussed. In today's episode we stick to one specific, financial topic: would you invest or accept an investment in your future earnings. **This is not financial advice. The expressed opinions in the podcast are those of the speakers. You can lose all your money in the various investment options discussed, the cryptocurrency market, the stock markets, or any number of financial investments, so be sure to do your own research before investing.** Thank you for listening!

Host Max Gershberg is joined by fellow Real Sports Producer Nick Dolin to examine a new business shaking up the baseball industry: Big League Advance, a private equity fund founded by former Major League Baseball pitcher Michael Schwimer. The investment firm pays Minor League players money before they make it, in exchange for a percentage of their future baseball earnings. If they don't make it, they don't have to repay. Schwimer's all-or-nothing approach is attractive to investors and upcoming players who are notoriously paid little in the Minor Leagues, though critics say it's exploiting young athletes. Recently the company was in the news when client and MLB star Fernando Tatis, Jr., signed a $340 million contract. They discuss how the business works and examine the risks taken by both investors and players. [The interview starts at 15:00.]   Watch Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on HBO Max.

Fernando Tatis Jr. scored a huge chunk of change when he inked his 14 years/$340 million contract back in February, and once he signed the dotted line, so did the folks at Big League Advance. Big League Advance was created back in 2016, and the company has since serviced 350 aspiring big leaguers on their journey to the MLB.

When Fernando Tatis Jr. signed a 14-year, $340 million deal with the San Diego Padres, he was happy, his family was happy, his agents were happy, and so was a guy named Michael Schwimer. He is the founder of Big League Advance, which gave Tatis Jr. money when he was in the Minors in exchange for equity in his future playing contracts. It will pay off for Schwimer and his investors. How did Schwimer come up with the concept for the company? How much money does it have at its disposal? How many players has it signed? Why doesn't the Major League Baseball Players Association like the business model? We discuss that and much more on this latest edition of How to Play the Game.

Michael Schwimer grew up a standout athlete in Fairfax, Virginia and in high school was a star on his baseball and basketball teams. The 6'8'', 240-pound guard led his team to a championship and was even named MVP over future NBA center Roy Hibbert, but ultimately decided to turn down scholarship offers from Coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke and Coach Rick Pitino at Louisville in order to pitch for his hometown University of Virginia.Schwimer decided to finish his degree, and even interned at a hedge fund, before he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies. He spent three years in the minor leagues before making his major league debut, and finished his career with a 3-2 record. Schwimer says he made more money in the poker games on team road trips than he did as a player during his time in the league.After retiring, Schwimer started Big League Advance, a company that invests in (or stakes) minor league baseball players in exchange for a percentage of their future earnings. His second company, Jambos, is now positioning itself in the rapidly-expanding sports betting market.This December, Schwimer will be appearing on new episodes of High Stakes Poker, which has returned for an eighth season with original hosts Gabe Kaplan and A.J. Benza. Schwimer will be competing against the lineup that includes Tom Dwan, Bryn Kenney, Rick Salomon, Nick Petrangelo, Jean-Robert Bellande, and Brandon Steven.Highlights from this interview include being born two feet tall, an early appreciation for data, beating Roy Hibbert for MVP, saying no to Rick Pitino and Mike Krzyzewski, the scorecard of hedge funds, being drafted by the Phillies, the truth about his signing bonus, how 'Houdini' got from the minors to the majors, short-stacking the team $100-$200 poker game, Jonathan Papelbon's favorite hand, big buy-in games with Tom Dwan in London, using the element of surprise on High Stakes Poker, the staking business of baseball, sports betting expansion, singing to Bruce Springsteen, reffing sixth-grade basketball games, pizza socks and slaps in the face, and betting $780,000 on the Super Bowl.

Michael Schwimer is the CEO of Big League Advance, a company that makes investments in Minor League baseball players in exchange for an agreed-upon percentage of their future earnings.  Before founding BLA, Michael was a professional baseball player, working his way through the minors and reaching the majors as a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies.  A shoulder injury left him pondering what to do next, which led to the creation of BLA.  Our conversation discusses Michael’s career as a player, the difficult life of Minor Leaguers, and his mission to improve their fortunes.  We discuss his passion for statistics, application of Sabremetrics, and development of a team of All-Stars in the game of sports analytics.  We close with a look into the future of BLA and Michael’s prediction for this year’s World Series Champion.  Whether his bet proves right or wrong, Michael’s rationale exemplifies second order thinking through the lens of data analytics that is never far from his mind.

Former Major League Baseball pitcher Michael Schwimer joins Eben Novy-Williams to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, all centered around data and analytics. Schwimer, 33, had a two-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies, during which he built a pitch-sequencing model tailored to each specific hitter. After leaving baseball, he founded Big League Advance, a company that invests in minor league players, offering upfront cash in return for a percentage of any future MLB earnings. Schwimer's latest venture is Jambos Picks, a subscription service that sells sports betting advice. He discusses both businesses, their opportunities for growth and the skepticism surrounding both industries. 

Topics in this edition (ft. Big League Advance CEO Michael Schwimer) include: - Revisiting Opening Day memories (Remember Jason Heyward's debut? MadBum's two-homer game?) - Predictions for the 2019 season, from division winners to MVPs to the eventual World Series champs - Talking with former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Michael Schwimer about his company, Big League Advance, a venture capital firm for minor leaguers that gives prospects upfront capital in exchange for a percentage of their future big-league earnings

I'm speaking with Michael Schwimer, the CEO Big League Advance. Big League Advance is like a venture capital fund, but instead of investing in emerging businesses, they invest in minor league baseball players. They do so by buying a percentage of the players future earning capacity. When I first heard Michael describe his story and his business I was that excited to find out more. It's certainly not an investment strategy for everyone as it's high risk/high reward, but it's a really interesting concept. Big League Advance continues to receive recognition around the world, and be approached from other sports wanting to improve in their analytics and data analysis. They've been approached by soccer federations wanting to better prepare for the next world cup and NBA teams looking for an edge over competitors.
