NBC SportsAthletics general manager David Forst told reporters at the Winter Meetings that he's had "good dialogue" with Brent Rooker's agent concerning a potential contract extension.

Locking up Rooker to a long-term extension following last year's 39-homer breakout campaign would certainly help. Fantasy managers are hoping to see the 30-year-old slugger spend enough time in the field next season in Sacramento to regain outfield eligibility since he'll be utility-only in most leagues entering next spring.

NBC SportsAthletics' manager Mark Kotsay told reporters this week that the team is interested in signing slugger Brent Rooker to a contract extension.

Rooker is arbitration eligible this winter (where he's expected to earn around $5 million) and is under team control through the 2027 season, but they want to add on a year or two of free agent control as well. The 30-year-old masher delivered a career season in 2024 -- slashing .293/.365/.562 with 39 homers, 112 RBI and 11 stolen bases -- returning first-round value for fantasy managers that called his name in the later rounds of drafts. He won't be sneaking through the cracks this season, as Rooker currently sports an average draft position just inside the top 75 players overall.
