Oakland A's closer Liam Hendriks says he doesn't follow the Golden State Warriors, who were the A's neighbors before their move to the Chase Center in San Francisco for the upcoming 2019-20 season.

"They treated us like s— over here so we don't care for them much," Hendriks said to The Athletic's Ethan Strauss on Tuesday morning.

Hendriks has played for the A's since 2016, the year after the Warriors won the first of their three most recent NBA titles. He spoke about the difference between how the Warriors were treated by the A's when they "sucked" and how the Warriors treated the A's as they ascended to dynasty status.

"When the Warriors sucked and the A's were good, the A's would give them tickets," he said. "When the Warriors became good they decided to cut all ties and become a—holes. So, no love lost for them leaving."

One time, Hendriks told Strauss, a Warriors security guard wouldn't let him out of the parking lot shared by the A's and the Warriors when both teams are in-season. He said he was told that he's "not as important as a player for the A's as a fan for the Warriors is" by a security guard.

Hendriks and the A's will have plenty of space to stretch their legs as the Warriors head west to SF and the Oakland Raiders head to Las Vegas after the upcoming NFL season. And he's already got plans for what the A's can do with the extra space.

"We can make some improvements after they leave," Hendriks told Strauss. "We can take (the Raiders') clubhouse because their clubhouse is way nicer than ours."
