Brent Rooker is the main cog for an Athletics team that is trying to turn the corner.

In 2024, The Athletics OF/DH Brent Rooker had an outstanding season.

As Frank Polito wrote on Athletics Nation, “This past season was clearly the break-out that A’s leadership and our fans expected.” Rooker finished the season 10th in AL MVP voting and won the AL Silver Slugger for the Designated Hitter, after hitting 39 home runs and driving in 112 runs.
