Ben & Skin sit down with former Texas Rangers GM & President of Baseball Operations Jon Daniels, the architect behind the most successful run in Rangers franchise history.
After the infamous firing of Nico Harrison, J.D. tells us how the sports-front-office sausage is made. From the highs of back-to-back World Series appearances to the emotional lows of an abrupt exit, J.D. opens up about pressure, leadership, loyalty, ego, burnout, and the human cost of pro sports.
He candidly talks about what really happened during his departure from the Rangers. The truth behind the Nolan vs. JD narrative. His handling of players Josh Hamilton and Michael Young. He also talks about the surreal feeling of watching the 2023 Rangers win it all from home.
