This petition is to show the frustration from Oakland A's fans towards Billy Beane as the General Manager of the Oakland Athletics. For years he has been trading away good players for "prospects" and the team has only been somewhat close to a World Series once in the last 20 years. I'm hoping to get enough signatures to send to A's management to show them that we as fans are fed up with this and want a winning team, not just one that makes Billy Beane money.

The response to this petition has reached a significant level of momentum. It is clear that the frustration regarding the current direction of the organization is shared by many. This attention confirms that our collective desire for a more competitive team is valid and urgent.

From the swingin a's to the bash brothers to a bottom feeder w/the least amount of homegrown talent in the league. Beane's attention to stats is commonplace in player evaluations great there goes the edge. So all that's left is snake oil bs and an owner who couldn't care less. Ugh, fire Beane and Wolff should sell.

We want superstars and role models on our team like Céspedes and Donaldson, and to not live with the fear of losing Sonny Gray because his value increases.

The king has no clothes. "Moneyball" was the worst thing to happen to the A's! It made Beane seem like some kind of genius - which he is not. So much of the A's PR now is about BB and how special he is. The team is not about him, but the players. He seems determined to run the organization like a farm team for the rest of baseball and he certainly doesn't give a crap about the fans!

I've been a A's fan since the early 70's . Beane has destroyed the winning ways in Oakland. They never had to tarp off the top of the stadium , it sold out .Keep your young players and PAY them. The idiot sure screwed up last year . Ruined the chemistry and the rest was history. We have a dead beat owner . They both need to go !!!!!!!!!

The collapse of are franchise is the result of one man who does not respect or understand "chemistry" of a great team and continues to ruin teams by making unnecessary moves to have his team fit his selfish desires and better more boost his ego as a baseball genius. He has been about numbers since day one and the numbers do not lie, he has "0" championships and "2" winning playoffs series since he has been our GM. He has had championship caliber teams but does not know how to keep a team together for as long as "possible" and continues to create and destroy teams with nothing to show for it in the end. The organization needs change.

Billy Beane has proven that he does not understand the concept of the "Chemistry" of a winning team.

I'm so glad I finally asked Google the question I've been wondering for so long to fire Billy Beane

Understanding the "Power of the Internet" . I believe in light of the recent Yonder trade to free up money and gaining a terrible less than prospect minor league outfielder from Seattle. We need a small team to circulate through the parking lot and games getting signatures. I`m sure at some point we will run into establishment consequences. So be aware I`ve been a STH for years. You give me the hard copy petitions and I`ll get thousands of signatures. Lets stand up. Get press coverage and make a difference.
