So after Beane trades Josh Donaldson which has to be the worst move he ever made although as a Jays fan I'm not complaining, he gets a promotion.

He is calling the shots either way. It's a promotion only in name.

The ol' Kevin Lowe promotion.

 

[Terry Yake]

this was expected for quite a while now

nothing really changes except beane's title. billy boy is still the one calling all the shots

I thought he's been elevated about 18 times already. Shouldn't he be Executive Super Duper Emperor of all That is Holy in Baseball in Oakland by now?

He already has ownership stake. This isn't surprising in the least. Forst has had a hand in a lot of moves for awhile.

Also using the Donaldson trade as some sort of criticism of his body of work overall is funny. He's won a lot more than he's lost, though I hate that trade every day.
