Former Oakland A’s pitcher Matt Keough had a life spent in baseball. The son of Marty Keough, and the nephew of Joe Keough, his life revolved around the game. He spent seven years in the majors as a pitcher, and four years in Japan once his major league career came to an end. Following his playing career, Keough worked as a scout with the Angels and Rays, eventually coming back to the A’s as a member of the front office.
That baseball odyssey has come to an end. According to the A’s, Keough has passed away, although they are remaining silent on the details.
