The Oakland A’s agreed to terms with manager Bob Melvin, a Menlo-Atherton graduate, on a one-year contract extension through the 2019 season, the club announced Thursday. His most recent extension was set to expire at the end of the 2018 season.

Melvin has compiled a 535-532 (.501) record in six-plus seasons since being named interim manager June 9, 2011. Earlier this season, the Bay Area native became the 64th manager in Major League history with 1,000 wins, and also won his 500th game with the A’s. Read the story here.
