We've seen it in the NBA and the NFL, but MLB could soon be on its way to having a 'Player-General Manager'. Someone who impacts the daily box score while also impacting the makeup of the rest of the team he plays for. Christian will talk about which characteristics are needed for this to happen, from both a team and player standpoint, as well as discusses which combination of player and team would help speed this process along. Hint: it already exists.
