Current Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman has also played for the Oakland Athletics. A 25th overall pick by the A's in 2014, Chapman made his debut with the team in 2017, and hit .278/.356/.508 with 24 home runs and 68 RBIs to finish seventh in MVP winning, and collect his first Gold Glove.

After another strong 2021, Chapman was traded to the Blue Jays, where his 35 doubles currently lead the AL in 2023.

Current Texas Rangers star Marcus Semien had rewarded years on both teams. In 2019, the utility infielder hit .285/.369/.582 in an AL-best 747 plate appearances. During his 2021 season as a member of the Blue Jays, Semien was one of the best hitters around. He hit 45 home runs, 102 RBIs, and had an OPS of .873, winning a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award.

Josh Donaldson is known for his intense play and emotional attitude. In 2013, he burst onto the scene for the A's, hitting .301/.384/.499 with 24 home runs and 93 RBIs.

Two years later, he hit 41 home runs, 123 RBIs, and led the league in total bases with 352 as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. However, his later career would falter. Now an injury-prone 37-year-old, many believe he has played his final game in MLB.
