Two years ago around this time, just a few weeks before the start of Spring Trai
ning, Brent Rooker picked up his phone and called his agent Dustin Bledsoe to we
igh on a thought to potentially explore opportunities to play baseball in Japan.
兩年前的這個時候，Brent Rooker正在電話上
和自己經紀人Dustin Bledsoe 討論去日本打球的可能性
By no means was this a crazy idea. Claimed off waivers by the Athletics from the
Royals in November 2022, Rooker was about to join his fourth organization in a
three years after limited playing time with Minnesota, San Diego and Kansas City
.
當時他三年來流浪了四隻隊伍
Interest from Japanese clubs was heavy, with offers far exceeding what he might
get from the A’s even if he did make the club.
而日職對他的興趣非常濃厚
並開了一張很好的報價給他，比他在大聯盟球隊能賺的還多很多
“It’s been a whirlwind,” Rooker said. “Two years ago, the conversations I wa
s having with Dustin were, ‘Hey, do we want to call David and ask for our relea
se so we can try to go to Japan?’ That was a very real consideration.
Rooker：
兩年前我和Dustin（經紀人）的對話是
我們要不要打給David（總管），要球團把我釋出
讓我去日本？
Now, the conversation we were having was, ‘Hey, David wants to give you $60 mil
lion. Do you want that or no?” I was like, ‘Yeah, we should do that one.’"
兩年後變成
David想要給你6000萬美金，你要不要？
Rooker：當然要啊XD
