And the rest is history, as Beane discovered a way to build a winning team with a low-budget.
Beane made it clear that his career would be no where without the guidance he received from Alderson. He valued their time together so much that he brought Alderson back to the A's front office after he left his role as Mets GM in Beane was not pleased with the rumors swirling around about him not wanting to work with Alderson again, and emphasized the opportunity young execs have to make their career by taking the job with the Mets. Now, the Mets will be forced to pivot to unknown candidates, which obviously come along with some risk.
Regardless, there are still capable names out there such as Josh Byrnes, senior VP of baseball operations for the Dodgers , who has already been linked to the Mets. At this point, time is of the essence with the qualifying offer period and free agency looming in November. The Mets already have infrastructure set in place, but they'd like to have a president of baseball operations brought in before they hire a manager and begin signing players.
Since the events of the film, he's stayed with the Athletics and has even risen up the ranks of the organization. The film Moneyball - which was penned by Aaron Sorkin - follows Beane during the famous season of the Oakland Athletics. After losing three star players to other franchises, Beane was presented with the problem of needing to replace them despite the fact Oakland had one of the lowest budgets in the MLB and couldn't compete with the likes of the Red Sox.
Instead of building a team around stars, he used detailed math and statistics that favored runs and getting on base to build a cheap team that would be successful in the aggregate. It was a controversial and hated method at the time, but after the A's became the first team to ever win twenty consecutive games and had an overall great season, it was adopted by managers and teams throughout the league. Almost ten years later Moneyball was released to critical and commercial success.
It's now been almost another decade, so what's happened to Beane in that time? Like Brad Pitt was in the film, Beane was offered a spot as the general manager of the Boston Red Sox, but declined and stayed with Oakland.
