My solution is basically the same as your last one. Here was my approach:

"""
Given we do not need to know the indexes of the triplet and only the best possible
value. If we sort the array. The maximum value will be a triplet made of either:

* 3 most positive values in the sorted array.
* 2 most negative values and the most positive value from the sorted array.
"""

A.sort()

a = A[0] * A[1] * A[-1]
b = functools.reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, A[-3:])

return a if a > b else b
