Moneyball conflicts

         The conflict in the book i am reading is how the Oakland A's don't have as much money as the other teams.Billy Bean, the A's manager, was a great baseball player but never made it in the league.He became the A's manager after his career failed.he started to go in to the world of management.

         He becomes the A's management after his fail of a player. He turns the team around after the difficulty of having the least amount of money in the MLB. He is the manager for about 4 seasons then he goes to be the manager of a different team, the Boston RedSoxs. But in the time period he was there he set records and did thing in  baseball that none would have ever done until Billy Bean did. Now what Billy Bean did is now the set of teams and the same ideas and mindsets he had 10 years earlier. Another way he had troubles was because of his way of thinking other teams didn't want to deal with him because he would trade for all of their scrap players.

         The real conflict in the end is nothing, because the front office(management of a team) takes care of all the problems and the biggest problem is the way Billy left the team for more money. Also, i thought that was the most emotional and messed up part in the book.
