Ryan Howard spent more than a decade as one of baseball’s most feared hitters. Since retiring, he’s built an interesting second act as an entrepreneur and investor, with bets spanning everything from the “Topgolf of baseball” to youth sports and professional soccer.  In this episode of The Deal, Ryan tells Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly how he transitioned from playing baseball to investing in ventures like Batter Up that will help more people play baseball, why making deals can feel like playing baseball, and which issues he thinks could shape the labor fight between the MLB and the players' union.
