Elephant Rumblings: Billy Beane back with A’s in 2021 after all?

Good morning afternoon evening, Athletics Nation!

Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Billy Beane will likely be back with the Oakland A’s in 2021 after all, reports Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle, along with the rest of the club’s top front-office execs.

The offseason began with a rumor that Beane may leave the A’s and the baseball world entirely, and move on to other ventures including European soccer, all as part of a large business deal that also involves Boston Red Sox team owner John Henry. However, Slusser reports that the deal “has yet to go through,” so Beane is probably sticking around in Oakland for now.
