With the end of the minor league baseball season, things are slowing down at Cooley Law School Stadium in Lansing. We talk with Lugnuts general manager Nick Grueser about the 2016 season and what's already being planned for next year.

You might think that with the last minor league baseball game of the season behind them, the Lansing Lugnuts are taking it easy until next spring. While it might be the off season for the players, the team's management and staff are still at work with a few events this year and planning for 2017.

Current State talks with Nick Grueser, entering his fifth season as general manager of the Lansing Lugnuts, about the year-round work of running a baseball team.
