BB Extension

Just read in the current issue of Sports Weekly that BB "will sign a lucrative contract extension once Lew Wolff is officially announced as the owner," according to SW's Bob Nightengale. He speculated in last weeks edition that Lew Wolff "has been approved as the new owner of the A's, which will be announced by opening day."

Only time will tell if the "by opening day" will apply considering MLB's timeline for announcements has historically been sloooowww.  

If its all true it would be great news for A's fans everywhere. Hopefully, our most valuable potential free agent has been re-upped.

Best news i've read all day
If this is true, all of us at AN will rejoice.

This means that Forst will take another GM job in three years tops.

Kielty, rejuvenated by his new genetically created St.Pats Day/Oktoberfest, shows us why Billy and Ohad are geniuses.

Yep
I heard BB is getting a piece of the team as well.  I like the way this owner thinks.

The future is so, so bright!

Let's Go Oak-Land!

Source??
Wonder where the source(s) of these rumors are coming from, but if they are true,i.e., long term extension + part ownership for BB, then it is the best news since we signed Chavy to a six year deal.

Where...
Where would the extra cash come from?  Wolff' already said he's going to run the team like Schott, with no red ink.

That's why he needs Billy.
