When Haley Alvarez finished her internship with the Oakland A’s two years ago, she began searching for her next opportunity, understanding the A’s didn’t have any full-time positions available at the time. But a couple of weeks later, she received a call from the club’s general manager, David Forst, asking her if she would like to attend scout school, with the A’s as her sponsor. That started Alvarez on a path that eventually led her back to the A’s in a full-time role.
