From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Former Mets GM Zack Scott — now of Four Rings Sports Solutions — had a lot of fascinating takes on the state of baseball, offering his thoughts on Brian Cashman's rant on analytics, how teams are approaching this new world of information, and why Carlos Mendoza is a really, really good hire for New York. And then there was his revelations when it came to the 2021 Trade Deadline deal involving Javy Baez and Pete Crow-Armstrong. Scott gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what transpired in that deal, the reasoning behind it and how it all evolved. To listen to Bradfo's entire conversation with Scott, click here.
