Valuing Trades Between KC A's and Yankees

+

I am looking into the time frame when Arnold Johnson, not Charlie Finley, owned the A's and how the Yankees indirectly ran the team. I compared the WAR values of the players traded. KC was elated to have a team, but Arnold Johnson's collusion with the Yankees quickly put the team on the city's bad side. KC's loss was definitely Oakland's gain.
