Billy's Expert Negotiation for Acquiring Ricardo Rincon | Moneyball (Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill)
Фильм және анимация
M dears, let's delve into this situation. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) aims to trade Mike Magnante for the talented Ricardo Rincon from Cleveland, all while avoiding Rincon's remaining salary. His plan involves offering Mike Venafro to other teams interested in Rincon. Yet, the challenge lies in the A's limited funds, forcing Beane to negotiate shrewdly to acquire players without incurring full salaries.
📩 / @movingpicsofficial
🎬Moneyball (2011): Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), general manager of the Oakland A's, one day has an epiphany: Baseball's conventional wisdom is all wrong. Faced with a tight budget, Beane must reinvent his team by outsmarting the richer ball clubs. Joining forces with Ivy League graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), Beane prepares to challenge old-school traditions. He recruits bargain-bin players whom the scouts have labeled as flawed, but have game-winning potential. Based on the book by Michael Lewis.

Damn it, now I need to watch this movie again.
Masterclass in acting and film work right here, the ease and realness to the scene is amazing. It done so well because of a few things. 1.) both actors sell the scene. Pitt and Hill do a great job at making the conversation not only between themselves sound so smooth and realistic but also the conversations between them and the others around them. They also know what they’re talking about which helps the scene along. Clearly they did their research to sound as knowledgeable as they could. It comes off smoother and less rigid then when you just rehearse the scene. 2.) silence. No music. It lets you hone in on what they’re talking about rather than grandeur of the situation. This is a BIG trade. There’s alot on the line to get rincón, Most movies would add suspense or a huge song to add to the success of it. 3.) camera work. It’s a simple OTS (over-the-shoulder) shot. No wild camera work to distract you, just simple camera shots to convey what’s most important. The dialogue!

I had to take notes myself: He wants Rincon from the Indians, but there are two problems: 1) Rincon is too expensive, and 2) the Indians are already planning on trading him to the Giants. Billy solves problem 2 by offering Venafro (a similar player to Rincon) to the Giants for cheap. He knows the Giants won't accept, but his offer will make them less eager for Rincon. He's so confident that the Giants won't take his offer that he (needlessly) offers Venafro to the Mets before even hearing back from the Giants. Sure enough, the Indians phone back, presumably after learning the Giants don't really want Rincon anymore. Billy then solves problem 1 by offering to pay for Rincon out of his own pocket.

I like to imagine that Billy slamming his hands onto the desk after getting the okay from the owner to get Rincon is not because they got him, but because Billy realized he just burned $225,000 out of his own pocket that he won't get back for at least a year if they trade him.

too bad that the 2024 MLB Season will be the A's last season in Oakland. Lots of history from 1968 to present about the Oakland A's. When the A's left Kansas City after the 1967 season, they found a good home in Oakland. Also Joe DiMaggio was their hitting instructor for the 1968 & 69 season. Over the years, The A's won 4 World series Titles (1972-74 and 1989) 2 AL Pennants (1988 and 1990) and countless playoff appearances. Their Bay Bridge rival, the Giants have been in the Bay Area 10 years longer (1958 to present) and it took the Giants from 1958-2010 until they won a World Series. (2 pennants 1962 and 1989) As the old saying goes that applies to the Oakland A's, "it was fun while it lasted."
It's so sad how the A" have deteriorated on purpose.

Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) is trying to acquire a high end reliever from the Indians (Rincon). He contacts the GM of the Indians for Rincon, but discovers that another GM is pressuring the Indians GM for Rincon. So Beane and his assistant GM (Jonah Hill) brainstorm on who might be pursuing Rincon (narrowing down the list to either the Giants or Mets, since both of them might be looking for a lefty reliever). He offers a pitcher (Venefroe) he's willing to part with to the Giants GM for a random reliever. Basically, Venefroe is similar to Rincon, but a bit worse than Rincon (basically, cheaper bait that might interest the other GMs since he would cost less than Rincon). After discussing with the Giants GM, he calls back the Indians GM and realizes that the Giants were not the ones asking for Rincon (since the Giants have a number of other relievers). He immediately goes hard onto the Mets GM, basically offering Venefroe for almost nothing (a random prospect in the Mets' system). The Mets GM accepts after Beane says that the Indians GM is already trading away Rincon (basically a bit of a white lie to advance his aggressive negotiation). So now, since Beane is the only one offering anything for Rincon, the Indians GM accepts Beane's offer for Rincon. However, since the owner of the A's is notoriously stingy, Beane has to ask for some money to pay for the remainder of Rincon's salary (about $300K). Beane puts his own salary on the block to pay for Rincon's remaining salary for the season (which is how badly he wants Rincon).
