Miami Marlins' Trevor Rogers Wants To Make A Statement In 2024

Trevor Rogers has been a Rookie of the Year finalist, MLB All-Star, and a strong starting pitcher for the Miami Marlins in his young career. In 2024, he aims to make waves on the mound once again after suffering back-to-back injuries in 2023 that put him out for much of the year.

Rogers will come into the 2024 MLB season at full strength in his first year of arbitration. He explains what the feel is around the organization as he prepares to talk salary negotiations with the team. We also get a look into what his teammates are like, thoughts on the pitch clock, Pitch Com, and how unique his middle name is!

KC Royals Mentor & Financial Advisor Matt Morizio

Matt Morizio is a mentor in the Royals' organization meant to help athletes succeed both on and off of the field in the minor leagues. He dives into the mindset of an athlete and how to take care of the money you make - even if you've never gotten a MiLB or MLB check.
