The Athletic lists the Cleveland Guardians as a potential team that could trade for Oakland Athletics' Brent Rooker.
’s raw power, and he finally got an extended chance in Oakland, where he’s performed at an All-Star level for two seasons. He’s strictly a designated hitter, but plenty of lineups could find room for a righty bat with 30-homer power and, because of his lack of early opportunities, he’s under team control for three more seasons. He could be one of the most underrated hitters on the move this deadline.
Rooker is putting together a phenomenal season so far. He’s hitting .290/.368/.571 with a .939 OPS, including 22 home runs and 67 RBI. He would be a perfect batter to have hitting in the middle of the lineup.wouldn’t have to change up much on defense if the team were to acquire Rooker. He’s primarily a designated hitter for the A’s but has also appeared in nine games in left field and five games in right field for Oakland. This is the exact type of player the Guardians are looking for.
