The green jersey of the Oakland A’s just didn’t look right Tuesday on Jurickson Profar, especially when clashed against the blue tops and gray pants of his former team.
But that’s baseball, when a team’s former top prospect is traded away to a division rival over fears that he wouldn’t sign a contract extension or stay after testing free agency.
The Texas Rangers sent Profar west just before Christmas, closing a 10-year union between club and player that at point seemed like it might never end.
There are no hard feelings in the Profar camp.
