Must be true. I'm sure whoever (whomever?) it is reporting it
has a special connection that enables him/her to know this, even
though no one in the business does.

Beane is signed through 2014.

I don't think I can give you the link to the board, but this was
the link that was used to base the opinion. Quite a few others
are calling it rampant speculation, which it is.

It's not actually Billy Beane. It's Brad Pitt. With Jonah Hill
as assistant GM.

Beane's contract means nothing. Lew Wolff has said he'll let
Beane walk if the right opportunity presents itself. It was
part of the deal in talking him out of the Boston job.
That said, there is circumstantial evidence pointing towards a
Beane possibility, but it's nothing like definitive.

If the new GM wants to replace Fleita and/or Wilken, they still
would be valuable employees. Fleita's valuable for his
international scouting expertise and his knowledge of the farm
system, and Wilken is a well-respected evaluator of amatuer
talent who is familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the
current scouting staff.

So Tom Ricketts joined the team he owns on its trip to San
Francisco, and San Francisco is a city which is relatively close
to Oakland . . .
All the evidence I need that Beane is the man.
