BP RADIO
In a very special edition of BPR, Donald Fehr, just weeks
after announcing his retirement plans to step away from his
role as the Executive Director of the MLBPA, sat down with
Will Carroll and Joe Sheehan to discuss his quarter-century
on the job, and a career that often found him in the center
of the game's greatest controversies. From what he believes
the job is to his views on re-opening the Drug Agreement,
this is a unique conversation that you'll only hear at
Baseball Prospectus Radio. To listen in, surf to:
