Puerto Rico has been a baseball powerhouse. For decades, we operated as our own country, under the same rules as nations like the Dominican Republic. Players could be signed to professional teams as young as 16. Then in 1990, Major League Baseball changed the rules to include Puerto Rico in its first-year player draft. Initially, it was seen as protecting young players. But today, there's a sense that Puerto Rican baseball has lost its shine, and fewer players make it to the major leagues. In this episode, we examine how baseball reflects inequality and the lack of political sovereignty.Can't wait for the next episode?

El dominio de Puerto Rico en el beisbol es más que conocido, pero hay quienes piensan que la pelota boricua ya vio sus mejores días. Y algunos responsabilizan de su declive a una decisión de Major League Baseball de 1990, cuando obligó a los peloteros boricuas a pasar por el sorteo de novatos para llegar a la pelota profesional. Pero, 35 años después, las razones son mucho más complejas. En este episodio, exploramos cómo el beisbol refleja realidades como la migración forzosa, la desigualdad y la falta de soberanía política, y descubrimos formas en que la pelota sigue aportando a Puerto Rico.Can't wait for the next episode?

​​On this episode of Counsel Brew, we sit down with Eunice Nakamura, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Texas Rangers, for a conversation that proves the path to a dream role rarely follows the plan you laid out for yourself.Eunice didn't set out to work in professional sports. Like many lawyers, she started with a clear plan—be a litigator, build the career, hit the milestones. But along the way, a secondment with the Rangers, a move in-house, leadership roles across industries, and the relationships she built over the years quietly set the stage for an opportunity that would eventually bring her back to baseball in a much bigger way leading to her own personal homerun. While serving as General Counsel at Susan G. Komen, Eunice was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, an experience that completely reframed how she thinks about ambition, priorities, and what defines success. Today, she leads the legal function for one of Major League Baseball's most recognizable teams while also navigating life as a baseball mom to a travel player who had very strong opinions about whether she should take the Rangers job.And because no Counsel Brew conversation stays entirely on script, we also cover:why Eunice still does multiplication in Koreanher quest to recreate the perfect Japanese coffee machine experience at homethe unmatched luxury of Toto toilets, andwhy the best career advice might come from the valleys, not the peaks.Eunice brings thoughtfulness, perspective, and a sense of humor to this conversation emphasizing that the careers we're most proud of are often built through relationships, resilience, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.Grab your favorite brew (almond milk latte, if you're taking Eunice's recommendation) and join us for Episode 49.

One of the most polarizing questions in the mind of any photographer is "Should—or shouldn't I—get an agent?"  The role of an agent in a photographer's career is often misunderstood, leading hungry creatives to think that securing representation is their number one key to success. In truth, the relationship between a photographer and agent is far more nuanced than simply booking more assignments. In today's podcast, we take a deep dive into this complex alliance in a discussion with two generations of top agents, whose combined careers span from the film-era to the latest in media buys.  Listen in for a behind-the-scenes look at the many details involved, from the four P's Jennifer (JP) Perlmutter looks for in a photographer's work to Michael Ash's skill in editing a portfolio to allow a photographer's individual vision and passion to shine. Our experts also shed light on critical topics such as branding, while making distinctions between a physical and emotional brand. Get fresh insights about standing out in an oversaturated marketplace and the matter of seeing ahead of the curve on trends. As JP notes, "You don't have to hop on the current trend. You don't need to create the new trend. You need to create what's true to you, what's true to your vision, and then know that there are enough people out there—that there is your niche. There are the people who are going to love what you're doing." Guests: Jennifer Perlmutter & Michael Ash Episode Timeline: 3:16: Is there a difference between the terms agent and rep? 4:11: Michael Ash on his start as an agent in late 1970's New York. 7:46: Jennifer Perlmutter talks about her beginnings at the dawn of social media. 12:25: Having a good eye for talent, plus the qualifications and skillsets needed to be a rep.  16:54: Producing as part of an agent's role, plus a peek inside relationships between photographers and a rep. 20:16: Navigating connections between clients, photographers, and reps—plus contracts. 27:34: An agent's role in protecting a photographer's interests, plus their skill in editing and curating the work. 35:46: JP describes the Four P's—what she looks for in a photographer's work. 43:14: Episode Break 44:36: To brand or not to brand, plus distinctions between physical and emotional branding.  47:28: How do you stand out in an oversaturated marketplace and hone a unique vision? 53:29: The current trend for nostalgia and harkening back to the analog world.  57:56: Michael and JP discuss today's advertising marketplace and usage rates.  1:01:08: The matter of taste vs analytics in today's commercial marketplace. 1:04:21: How do you see ahead of the curve or know which trends are worth jumping on? Where do we go from here? 1:11:14: Apostrophe's mentorship program, advice for young creatives, and some thoughts on AI.

I spent time this week in a musical improv class, and it was a masterclass in one thing: staying on the beat. In improv, if your mind wanders for even a second, you're out of sync with the whole team. It made me think about a request my son made when he was little for my "phone-free attention." That request stuck with me because giving someone our undivided focus is the most basic act of leadership we can offer. In this micro-lesson, I'm exploring why inclusion isn't a grand gesture—it's the radical, simple act of being fully present. Takeaways: The Gift of Presence: Why undivided attention is a non-negotiable leadership skill. Mental Leftovers: How to stop dragging the energy of your last "scene" into your next meeting. Tactical Grounding: Why staying in the moment sometimes requires tools like compartmentalizing (or even fidget toys). Your Challenge: Where are you finding it hard to stay on the beat today, and what's one thing you can do to tune back in? Good Vibes to Go: Watch the documentary Come See Me in the Good Light on Apple TV. It's about poet Andrea Gibson navigating their terminal diagnosis. It sounds dark but it's actually joyful, love-filled, and even funny.

Ian Happ might be the most confounding player on the Chicago Cubs. Every season he seems to produce the same profile: around 20–25 home runs, a strong on-base percentage, and a wRC+ comfortably above league average. Over the last four seasons he's also quietly accumulated more than 13 WAR while playing nearly every day in left field. And yet, if you spend any time around Cubs Twitter or baseball message boards, you know the debate never really stops. Is Ian Happ actually a key piece of the lineup, or is he a player the Cubs should replace? In this episode of CubsPS+, I take a deep dive into Ian Happ's performance over the last four seasons and try to put his production into context across Major League Baseball. I look at how Happ ranks among qualified MLB hitters, how he compares to other outfielders around the league, and where his offensive numbers stack up using metrics like wRC+, WAR, OPS, walk rate, and strikeout rate. I also dig into leverage splits and situational hitting to see whether the common criticism that Happ “isn't clutch” actually holds up in the data. Along the way, I explore what a 3-WAR player really means in today's game, how much that level of production typically costs on the open market, and why players with Happ's statistical profile tend to show up on winning teams more often than fans might realize. I'm not arguing that Ian Happ is a superstar. He's not. But when you zoom out and look at the consistency of his production, the numbers paint a much clearer picture of what he actually brings to the Cubs. Sometimes the most interesting players in baseball aren't the obvious stars or the struggling role players. Sometimes they're the ones who quietly produce year after year while the conversation around them never quite settles. That's exactly what makes Ian Happ such a fascinating player to analyze.

When DraftKings posted +225 on there being a perfect game during the MLB season, gambling Twitter immediately called it one of the worst prices ever hung. But most of the outrage focused on the wrong reasons. In this video, Rob Pizzola breaks down why the reaction missed the mark, walks through the probability calculation step by step, converts the implied odds properly, and uses base rate math to estimate the true price of this season-long prop in the Major League Baseball betting market. Along the way, he explains what this says about sportsbook pricing and how to think about market mispricing more intelligently. Rather than piling on, Rob treats this as a sports betting analysis exercise — showing viewers how to approach niche markets, sanity-check numbers, and build a number from scratch. If you've ever wondered how to price something like a perfect game prop yourself, this is a full breakdown of the math and assumptions behind it on the Circles Off channel.

The Atlanta Braves once again find themselves in the kind of familiar territory that would rather avoid. On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced a 162-game suspension of Jurickson Profar after his second violation of the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. Grant McAuley discusses the fallout from Profar's latest ban, how the Braves will cover for the loss in production, what effects it will have on the lineup construction, the opportunity it presents for newcomer Mike Yastrzemski and others, as well as the possibility of adding another outfielder to cover for the loss. While the Braves lose Profar for the entire season, the $15 million he was owed is now on the table to potentially help the club in a variety of ways. Could that be better spent on a starting pitcher to fortify the injury-riddled rotation. All of that and more on this edition of the show.

The segment kicks off with Nova Southeastern's historic 100-game winning streak, and while it's Division II basketball, Joe says it doesn't matter — winning 100 straight at any level is special and deserves recognition. The conversation shifts to the World Baseball Classic and the global buzz surrounding Shohei Ohtani, who continues to look like one of the favorites to take home WBC MVP honors. The crew talks about how Ohtani has become the most liked player in Major League Baseball, drawing massive crowds even for batting practice.

Theo Epstein, Senior Advisor and part owner of Fenway Sports Group and former executive with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, explains how integrating analytics with scouting built championship organizations, how reforms like the pitch timer reshaped the pace of play, and how Major League Baseball can reenergize its national appeal.
