The Oakland Athletics may still employ veteran executive Billy Beane but make no mistake. The days of Moneyball are long gone.
Don’t let the six playoff appearances in the last decade fool you. The A’s are in full tank mode, having gone from 86 wins in 2021 to a mere 60 last season. Prospects for 2023 aren’t looking much better either.
Maybe it’s just the latest rebuild. Perhaps ownership is serious about fast-tracking a move to Las Vegas. One way or another, the Oakland A’s have absolutely nothing to look forward to this season.
