There are several fascinating books about these behind-the-scenes machinations that thoughtful fans might want to seek out, including:

Baseball and Billions: A Probing Look Inside the Business of Our National Pastime

The Lords of the Realm

Play Ball: The Life and Troubled Times of Major League Baseball

License to Deal: A Season on the Run with a Maverick Baseball Agent

For the latest baseball business news, visit the appropriately-named Biz of Baseball site.
