Oakland, Calif. ? The Oakland Athletics completed their trade for outfielder Matt Holliday from the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, landing a big bat for the middle of their lineup. The Rockies received right-handed reliever Huston Street, lefty starter Greg Smith and promising outfielder Carlos Gonzalez from the A’s. The clubs reached a tentative agreement Monday, but had to wait for the results of physicals and other details to be worked out.

Holliday, a two-time All-Star and runner-up for the 2007 NL MVP award, is to make $13.5 million next season and then will be eligible to become a free agent. Holliday has 128 homers and 483 RBIs in five big-league seasons.
