  • Summary

  • The A’s made waves by extending Brent Rooker to a five-year, $60 million deal, with a potential sixth year that could bring the total to $90 million. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive into the significance of this rare long-term commitment for a franchise known for its frugal spending. We examine Rooker’s journey from waiver claim to All-Star-caliber slugger, his impact on the lineup, and what this move means for the team’s transition to Las Vegas. While the deal solidifies a key piece of the A’s offensive core, it raises questions about the team’s remaining offseason priorities, particularly the now-limited flexibility to address pitching depth.

    We’ll also break down the ripple effects on the A’s rotation and potential trade market moves. With the payroll nearing $105 million, ownership appears unwilling to go beyond this threshold, potentially ruling out any significant additions. How does this decision align with the A’s long-term strategy, and is the organization truly maximizing its potential? Join us for a passionate, in-depth discussion on what this move means for 2025 and beyond, as we analyze the highs and lows of the A’s boldest offseason in years.
