Our Dad Ran MLB Teams. Here's What It Was Really Like

Welcome to GM Territory! This week, Trey Bowden is joined by his brother Tyler Bowden for a special episode as they take a break from breaking down baseball and pull back the curtain on what it was really like growing up as the sons of a Major League Baseball General Manager.

The Bowden brothers share personal stories from their childhood, discussing the unique experiences, challenges, and unforgettable moments that came with having their father, former MLB GM Jim Bowden, running big league organizations. From trade deadline chaos and late-night phone calls to clubhouse access, draft rooms, and life around professional baseball, Trey and Tyler provide an honest look at the realities of growing up inside the game.

They discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly — including the sacrifices their family made, the pressure and criticism that came with the job, and the incredible opportunities they experienced along the way. The brothers also reflect on how baseball shaped their lives, careers, and relationship with their dad.

If you’ve ever wondered what life is really like behind the scenes of a Major League front office, this episode offers a unique perspective rarely heard from the family members who lived it firsthand.

Subscribe to GM Territory for insider conversations on baseball, front office strategy, scouting, player development, trades, drafts, and the stories behind the game from those who experienced it up close.
