Trillo was involved in a pair of controversies about his roster eligibility for the
In April 1974, Trillo played 12 games for the Athletics before being sent back to the minor league Tucson Toros.[1] He was eventually brought back to the major leagues in September. He appeared in one game of the 1974 American League Championship Series against the Baltimore Orioles, but didn't make any further appearances as the Athletics defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1974 World Series.[8]
On October 23,
Trillo was an integral member of the
In the 1980 World Series against the Kansas City Royals, Trillo once again made his mark in Game 5 by making another relay throw to cut off Darrell Porter trying to score in the sixth inning.[23] He then hit a single with two outs in the ninth inning to drive home the winning run.[23] The Phillies went on to win Game 6 and claimed the first world championship in the team's history.[21][24]
1981 was another good year for Trillo as he was selected as a reserve for the National League All-Star team, and won his second Gold Glove Award and his second consecutive Silver Slugger Award. He was voted to be the starting second baseman for the National League in the 1982 All-Star Game and set a since-broken major league record for consecutive errorless chances at second base (479), falling two games short of Joe Morgan's record 91-game errorless streak.[25][26][27]
Trillo was one of five Phillies along with George Vukovich, Julio Franco, Jerry Willard and Jay Baller who were traded to the Cleveland Indians for Von Hayes at the Winter Meetings on December 9, 1982.[28] In 1983, he made his second consecutive start as the All-Star second baseman, this time for the American League.[1] Trillo also won his third and final Gold Glove Award in 1983.[1] He finished the 1983 campaign with the Montreal Expos after being dealt from Cleveland for minor-league outfielder Don Carter and cash on August 17. Trillo had expressed a desire to return to the National League and demanded a five-year $4 million contract, the latter of which the Indians lacked the wherewithal to re-sign him.[29] He was reacquired by the Cubs from the Giants for Dave Owen on December 11, 1985.[30] His career as an active player ended with the Cincinnati Reds in 1989.[1]
