In this episode, we break down Brent Rooker’s standout 2024 season and dive into the numbers that have some A’s fans asking a bold question: Can Rooker make a serious run for the 2025 American League MVP? We'll start by comparing Rooker's performance with this year’s MVP finalists—Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and Bobby Witt. With a .293 batting average, 39 home runs, and 112 RBIs, Rooker showed MVP-level potential in several key areas. Tune in as we discuss how he stacks up against the best and what he needs to improve on to make his case even stronger next season.

Beyond the stats, we’ll explore what an MVP season could mean for the A’s as a whole, from boosting team morale to drawing more fan support during a challenging time for Oakland baseball. From consistency at the plate to driving in clutch runs, we’ll discuss how Rooker can elevate his game even further—and what the A’s would need to do as a team to help him in the MVP race. A’s fans, if you’re looking for reasons to believe in a brighter future, this episode is for you!
