When Brett Lawrie was traded from the Blue Jays to the A's in the deal that sent Josh Donaldson to Toronto, a six-year-old girl named Amelia was very upset. 

Amelia's father filmed her crying over Lawrie's departure. "They're never gonna wanna trade back," she wailed.

New Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorious is a knight​

The video went viral and has been viewed over 100,000 times, including by Lawrie himself, who decided to pay Amelia a visit. 

Amelia seems to have cheered up. Maybe she's seen Donaldson's stats.
