  Holliday had a no-trade clause with the Yankees where the only team that he could veto a trade to was the A’s 😂

  Mark Ellis' many mentions in this video makes me want a separate video about him, he was arguably the most underrated second baseman of the 2000s.

  I was so mad when they made that trade. When the A’s called up Cargo you could tell he was gonna be a lights out player

  Another painful wrinkle for A&apos;s fans. Brett Wallace was a relatively local player who played high school ball less than 50 miles from Oakland.

  You should do a video about Matt Stairs - the pride of New Brunswick. Super underrated career with some clutch moments

  As an A&apos;s fan back then, your loyalty was always on a swivel. You could fall in love with a player, think they are going to stick around for years, and then they get traded on their bobblehead night (Cespedes)

  Wow, this video is loaded with River Cats. Every time the A&apos;s made a trade that infuriated their fans, I knew we would get an influx of talent. No wonder we have so many PCL and Triple-A championships from that era 😛
