Trayce Thompson didn’t waste much time when it came to sticking it to his old club. Thompson, who signed with the A’s last week, got the start in centerfield for tonight’s game against the Dodgers, the team that designated him for assignment at the end of spring training.
Thompson got his payback in the sixth inning, when he incredibly robbed what appeared to be a sure Yasiel Puig home run, catching the ball in the palm of his glove.

If that wasn’t entertaining enough for you, Trayce’s brother, Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson, posted a video on Instagram of his reaction to the play, where he seemed to channel his inner Dikembe Mutombo while he celebrated.
