Oakland Athletics executive Billy Bean is slated to leave the organization in order to pursue opportunities outside MLB, according to the Wall Street Journal's Jared Diamond, Joshua Robinson and Miriam Gottfried.
Beane, 58, is currently the co-chair of RedBall Acquisition Corp, which is set to merge with Fenway Sports Group. Beane will partner with Red Sox owner John Henry in the deal, though Beane will not take a position running the Red Sox, per the Wall Street Journal.
The architect of the Moneyball A's will likely turn his attention to other sports ventures, specifically European soccer.
