40 in 40: Josh Rojas is 30 years old

I understand if you’re not a Josh Rojas enjoyer.

For one, he came to us in a slightly cursed way. As one of the three fringe players from the Diamondbacks the M’s got from beloved reliever Paul Sewald, Rojas was always going to have a hard time picking up fans.

In his 3.5-ish years as a major leaguer, Rojas has only flirted with being league average. In his career-best year, 2021, he posted a 110 wRC+ with 2.7 fWAR. And in 2023, that peak of “yeah, I guess he’s on ok major leaguer” seemed far behind him.
