Hey everyone!
I’ve been writing a series on MLB’s “41st man” — players stuck on the roster bubble who rarely get spotlighted. In this exclusive interview, Brent Rooker shared his journey: a 3-sport high school star and SEC Triple Crown winner before he was DFA’d. Now, he's the face of the A's.
He opened up about the mindset, the setbacks, and the moments he questioned if he was good enough. This is part of a book I’m writing on the human side of baseball’s most unforgiving transaction. Hope you enjoy.
