OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Moneyball Turns Roster Talk Into Market Combat
The trade deadline sequence makes front-office speech physical. Calls, names, numbers, favors, and timing become the action choreography.
Why it works
Billy and Peter move players by talking value into existence. The scene works because market language is treated as a tool with immediate human and institutional cost.
