Designated hitter Brent Rooker and the Athletics reached a five-year, $60 million contract extension, multiple media outlets reported.
The New York Post reported on Monday night that the deal includes a $10 million signing bonus and can be worth $92 million over six years provided incentives are reached.
Rooker, 30, struggled to find his footing with three different teams before joining the Athletics in 2023. He made the All-Star Game in that season while batting .246 with 30 homers and 69 RBIs in 137 games.
Rooker followed that up by hitting .293 with 39 homers and 112 RBIs in 145 games.
The A’s haven’t been shy about signing sizable contracts this summer, notably a three-year deal for $67 million with right-hander Luis Severino. They also acquired left-hander Jeffrey Springs in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.
