Billy Beane's A's may be winning games, but during the period in question (2002-2014), the Red Sox have won 3 World Series Championships, and the A's haven't been to one in 25 years... it's the World Series wins that count, eventually. Everything else is irrelevant.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not according to the Red Sox. They still made him an offer despite their wins and despite Billy Beane's absence from the World Series.
The Sox had not won a World Series since 1918(!), and hadn't appeared in one since 1986. The offer was made in 2002. They made him an offer, thinking that he would lead them to a Win after an 84-year drought. Despite his refusal, they were still able to win 3 championships. Maybe this shows that while Beane can get you wins, his method may not work in building a Championship-winning team?

In that case, what you should take from the article is that the St. Louis Cardinals are by far team to bet on.
