They draft very well, thus keeping farm stocked with pieces they can move for impact players. They also very savvy in trades: getting a nice haul for Matt Kemp as an example. That's the difference between a top notch front office and the crap we've had for the last decade.

And they scout/develop well in the international market.

reality is, charles kushner wouldn't be approved as owner by mlb owners. side note: his bad past doesnt eliminate sons tho.
