Former Mets/Angels GM Billy Eppler Shares Inside Perspective on Trade Season

We start on a light note. Do GMs send each other “You up” texts? That has to be how these midnight trades are getting done. How in the loop are players during the trade process? Billy Eppler ran the Angels and Mets in the recent past and covers how front office/clubhouse relationships have changed, like how players (ex: Garrett Crochet) can help determine their trade market. FREE SIGN UP - FT Leadoff newsletter covers the trade buzz: https://make-plays-newsletter.beehiiv.com/ Eppler scouted Shohei Ohtani in Japan and then signed him. What stood out about Sho-time when he was overseas? What is on the checklist for teams during trade season? Eppler takes us through the process, including permission from ownership.
