A's extend Beane, Crowley through 2019
Baseball Betting Lines
02/07/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff says general manager
Billy Beane and president Michael Crowley have reached agreements to remain
with the team through the 2019 season.
Wolff told Bloomberg Television on Tuesday that he expects both executives to
sign contract extensions within 30 days.
"I view them as partners as well as executives," Wolff told Bloomberg. "So if
they are here another 30 years, that is fine with me. I may not be here to see
it, but that will be fine."
Beane and Crowley both received contract extensions in June 2007 through the
2014 season.
Beane, of course, gained a reputation for building contenders on a budget
since taking over as GM in 1997, while Crowley joined the organization about a
year later.
Both executives are limited partners in the A's ownership group.
Actor Brad Pitt is nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Beane
in the movie "Moneyball," which was based on the Michael Lewis book. The
awards are February 26.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
