In this special bonus episode, Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer<\/a> and Effectively Wild<\/em><\/a> talks with Chad about his new book, The MVP Machine<\/a>. <\/em>They talk about the premise of the book\u2014how player development is the new “Moneyball” and is being driven by players and technology\u2014about the process of co-writing, feedback loops for writing, and the mysteries of publishing and its lack of empirical data gathering. Oh, and Willians Astudillo<\/a> makes a last minute appearance. There’s even mention of an influential book on pitching that a pitching guru paid to get translated . . .<\/p>\n
