Royals memories fueled by Dye trade and downtrodden era
Mike Kessinger analyzes how the 2000 trade sending Jermaine Dye to the A’s reshaped the Royals. He notes Dye’s rise to an All Star, the exodus under David Glass and GMs Herb Robinson and Allard Baird, and how the White Sox current success highlights the franchise’s decline since that move. Dye’s three hit four RBI game is cited as evidence of his impact.
