That's because David Forst is the GM of the Athletics. Billy Beane was promoted to team president a few years back, although he still has final decision making approval.

Same with Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff in Cleveland, Theo Epstein/Jed Hoyer with the Cubs, Andrew Friedman/Farhan Zaidi with the Dodgers, etc...

Someone once suggested adding a Team President option into the game, and while I originally thought it unnecessary, I have since come around as more and more teams use the President position in real life to reward an accomplished GM and treat the GM position as more of an assistant.

Also, Michael Hill is the GM of the Marlins, so that's why he's listed as such.
