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.
两年前的这个时候，Brent Rooker正在电话上
和自己经纪人Dustin Bledsoe 讨论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
.
当时他三年来流浪了四只队伍
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.
而日职对他的兴趣非常浓厚
并开了一张很好的报价给他，比他在大联盟球队能赚的还多很多
“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：
两年前我和Dustin（经纪人）的对话是
我们要不要打给David（总管），要球团把我释出
让我去日本？
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.’"
两年后变成
David想要给你6000万美金，你要不要？
Rooker：当然要啊XD
