Athletics officially announced on the 9th (Korea time) that it signed a five-year, $60 million (about 87.8 billion won) extension contract with Luker. In the sixth year, there are besting options that are triggered according to performance, such as at-bats and MVP voting results. If all options are achieved, the contract will increase to $90 million (about 131.7 billion won) for six years.
Before joining the Athletics, Rooker was just such a promising player. He boasted strong slugging capability in the minor leagues, but failed to display strength whenever he moved to the Major League. Rooker, who entered the big league for the first time in 2020, played for the Minnesota Twins, the San Diego Padres, and the Kansas City Royals through 2022. In just 81 games over the past three years, Rooker had 48 hits, 10 homers and a 0.200 OPS of 0.668, and the Kansas City Royals assigned him to the team.
The Athletics have changed Rooker's life. Oakland signed Rooker through waivers. Wearing a green jersey, Rooker has shown full potential. He played in 137 games in 2023 and recorded 114 hits, 30 homers, 61 runs, 69 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.246 OPS of 0.817 and was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
This year has taken a step further. In 145 games, he played 160 hits, 39 homers, 82 runs, 112 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.293 OPS of 0.927. He was named the first Silver Slugger in his career and was named the 10th MVP of the American League.
Miguel Teada has become a powerhouse with both precision and power. According to MLB.com , Roeker has become the first Athletics player with a batting average of 0.290 or higher, 30 or more home runs, and 100 or more RBIs at the same time since Teha in 2002. He also posted an adjusted scoring capacity (wRC+) of 164, which ranks him seventh in the Major League.
The rookie is expected to become a springboard for the upcoming Las Vegas era. The Athletics, which spent its last season in Oakland, will play in Sacramento, their temporary home base, starting this season. They will move to Las Vegas starting in 2028.
He is also ready for 2025. Due to his elbow injury in 2024, Luker mostly played designated hitter. He underwent elbow surgery after the end of the season, and is expected to finish his rehabilitation before spring camp.
