It wasn't, but it's worth noting that MLBAM is a different thing than team-specific front-office jobs. Ditto stuff like NFL Media and the like. (I talked to the latter at one point.)

There was a pretty long stretch of time when most MLB teams, too, didn't realize the value of "those nerds in the back room, there."

Fair point. I guess I just assumed that there would be some level of commonality between the orgs, but now that I think about it that does make a lot of sense. The teams themselves are their own weird little fiefdoms within the greater empire, so it would track that they don't all value things the same ways (like devs or analytics or winning games)
