A new petition dropped Monday on Change.org asking the soon-to-be Sacramento A’s to appoint former slugger Jose Canseco, who once played for the Oakland-based team, as their manager.
The catch to this one, though: None other than Canseco himself appears to have started it.
Canseco announced the petition Monday at 1:40 p.m. with a post on his X account. Listed on Change.org as being started by “Team Canseco,” it calls on “the owners and decision-makers of the Athletics baseball team” to consider Canseco for the managerial position next season.
“Jose Canseco, a former player for the Athletics, is not only familiar with the team’s culture and history but also has a deep understanding of baseball that could be beneficial in guiding this team,” the petition reads.
