[新聞] Royals acquire outfielder Brent Rooker
The Royals have acquired outfielder Brent Rooker from the San Diego Padres
for catcher Cam Gallagher, according to Dennis Lin of The Athletic. The
27-year-old Rooker is a right-handed hitter who has appeared in just two
games with the Padres this year, but hit .201/.291/.397 with 9 home runs in
58 games with the Twins last year.
Rooker is a right-handed hitter who was originally a first-round pick in 2017
by the Twins out of Mississippi State. In 2018 he was ranked as the #98
prospect in baseball by Baseball America. He put up good power numbers in the
minors but has a lot of swing-and-miss to his game, and has struck out in
32.7 percent of his MLB plate appearances.
Cam Gallagher has appeared in parts of the last six seasons with the Royals
as a backup catcher. The former second-round pick has hit .240/.302/.355 in
171 career MLB games, but has been reknowned for his defense and framing
ability. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time this year, and
was expendable with the promotion of MJ Melendez to the big leagues, the
return of Salvador Perez from injury, and the emergence of Sebastian Rivero
in the minors.
感謝Cam近幾年的付出，真的是一個很稱職的替補捕手
