The trade that put Jeff Samardzija on a contender cost him a chance to pitch in his first All-Star Game.
A day after Samardzija was dealt from the Chicago Cubs to Oakland, a big league-high six A's were picked Sunday for the game in Minnesota on July 15.
That doesn't include Samardzija, selected as a NL All-Star. Major League Baseball said he is ineligible to play because of the league switch.
