The story of how a new generation of tech-savvy franchise owners is reshaping every aspect of professional sports.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Franchises today are more than just sports; they integrate a whole suite of other businesses\u2014television and digital content, gambling and real estate, fashion and apparel, entertainment, catering and concessions, and much more. But an optimized franchise has no room for error. Teams must do what the numbers say, reducing the element of chance, limiting those random moments of athletic heroism that make sports thrilling to watch. Optimization also means the franchise\u2019s main goal isn\u2019t championships anymore; it\u2019s keeping you, the viewer, engaged with the product.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drawing on extensive interviews with franchise owners, general managers, executives, and players, Bruce Schoenfeld introduces dynamic leaders who are radically reimagining the operations of these decades-old teams\u2014and producing mind-boggling valuations. He joins the architects of the Golden State Warriors dynasty for an exclusive reception before tip-off. He stands among the faithful at Anfield, watching Liverpool\u2019s analytics guru size up a prized midfielder. And he watches the president of the Chicago Cubs break ground on a new DraftKings gambling parlor at Wrigley Field, not ten miles from the site of the original Black Sox betting scandal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Essential reading for anyone interested in sports, business, or technology, Game of Edges explores a world where winning the game is only the beginning.<\/p>\n
