2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rooker went from being designated for assignment by the Royals in November of 2022 to becoming a bona fide breakout slugger for the Athletics in 2023. He was one of only 29 major leaguers to reach the 30-homer plateau and he posted the 14th-highest OPS (.817) among all qualified American League hitters. Rooker strikes out often and is probably never going to be a good source for batting average, but his power stroke sure appears to be a bankable asset. He finished in the 93rd percentile last year in barrel percentage and was in the 91st percentile in hard-hit rate. The 29-year-old is going to have to make a lot of noise on his own as part of a mostly punchless Oakland offense, but that poor supporting cast at least assures him everyday at-bats in a fruitful lineup spot.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Rooker flashed impressive power at Triple-A in 2022, logging a .289/.395/.649 slash line, 28 home runs, 88 RBI and 27 doubles in 81 contests. In the majors, he logged 16 games with the Royals and the Padres to little effect. mainly serving in a reserve role. Entering his age-28 season, Rooker is beginning to look like a Quadruple-A type of player -- he tears up Triple-A but can't put it all together after major-league call-ups. He was waived by the Royals and claimed by the Athletics in November, so a spot on the 40-man roster should put him in contention for a starting spot in the Oakland outfield or as the designated hitter heading into 2023, though it's far from a guarantee he can secure anything more than a short-side platoon role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Trade looking unlikely
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Athletics have been informing teams they are "reluctant" to trade Rooker ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
ANALYSIS
The slugger will have his first year of arbitration eligibility next year and won't be eligible for free agency until after the 2027 campaign, so the A's aren't motivated to make a deal this summer. Rooker broke out last season with 30 homers and an .817 OPS, and he's taken another step forward in 2024 with a .296/.370/.587 slash line and 25 homers through 93 games.
