Whether they’re a buyer or a seller, every front-office decision-maker around the Majors has an objective between now and the July 30 Trade Deadline: get better.
For some, that means fortifying a roster with an eye toward October. For others, it’s looking ahead to 2022 and beyond, trying to put their club in the best position going forward.

The Birmingham Times
By the time he was in his 20s, Jeremy Duckworth was on his way to creating economic development opportunities for urban and rural communities.
Duckworth is executive director of the Central Alabama Redevelopment Alliance (CARA), an organization focused on helping small businesses become sustainable and building economic development opportunities in parts of Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma.
His experience goes back to his first business, which he started while enrolled at the University of Alabama (UA) in Tuscaloosa.
“It was a marketing business called Neighbor Foundation, and it was through Amway, [a multilevel marketing company that sells health, beauty, and home care products],” said Duckworth, who was 20 at the time. “That taught me so much about people.”
