The Oakland Athletics are hiring former Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt as a special assistant in their scouting department following his departure from Colorado after the 2021 season. Schmidt, who spent over 25 years with the Rockies, had a challenging tenure as GM, overseeing four consecutive last-place finishes. Despite recent draft struggles for Colorado, he previously played a key role in acquiring franchise stars like Troy Tulowitzki and Nolan Arenado. Schmidt brings extensive scouting experience that the Athletics hope to leverage.
