Mailbag: The power of Jerry Reinsdorf; How players pick translators; Why don't teams build smaller ballparks?

It’s a mailbag! Someone asked me about Jerry Reinsdorf and the power he has in Major League Baseball. This a is a fun question. He ran the Bulls during their legendary run. He won a ring with the White Sox. But, it’s been a long time since either team was that good again. (15:55) How do players pick their translators? Is this a team decision? Player decision? (27:45) Why don’t baseball teams plan to build smaller ballparks? Someone asked this because of the Oakland Athletics looking to build a new one, even though attendance has been terrible. (36:00) Someone asked me about balance as a team president. They wanted to know at what level would a situation arise that would need me to jump in with players and the front office.  Hey, it's mailbag. Leave a 5 star review so we can answer more questions.
