This week’s guest is the former Houston Astros Director of Pro Scouting and later Special Assistant to the GM for Player Personnel, Kevin Goldstein. A lively and forthright discussion looks at how Goldstein came to join the Astros under Jeff Luhnow as a scout, before assessing what Goldstein's major roles at the club entailed. The conversation goes on to give an insight into Major League Baseball trades in practice, the relationship between opposing front offices and a view on what the Astros were looking for in players they were interested in. Following this, we discuss where the future of analytics in baseball lies, before moving on to an open and frank look at the Astros under the Jeff Luhnow regime and how the public fallout from the 2017 sign stealing scandal unfairly absorbed undeserving individuals, namely including Goldstein himself in connection to an email he had sent at the time. Plus, find out who has won the 'Astros: Generations' competition for the three Astros caps with the last three club logos!
