Show Notes

Hal Steinbrenner, managing general partner of the New York Yankees, talks about the meteoric rise of rookie right fielder Aaron Judge, dubbed the face of baseball after his standout performance in the Home Run Derby. Steinbrenner also addresses the team's change in philosophy from parting with prospects for short-term gain to developing a minor-league system aimed at sustained success. He also discusses his father, George; management's globalization efforts; how much the team is worth; and how winning games fuels everything from attendance to television ratings. And, no, the Steinbrenners have no plans to sell the world's second-most valuable club.

Steinbrenner officially took over control of the team in 2008, two years before his father's death. The Steinbrenner family has majority control of the team, which includes a host of limited partners.
