Tanner Roark
Tanner Roark made the majors in 2013, one year after leading the minors in losses. After going 15-10 the next year, it looked like he would be a member of the team's rotation for years to come, but Washington went out and signed free agent Max Scherzer before the 2015 season. With Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez, Stephen Strasburg and Doug Fister still around, Roark was the odd man out. He became a versatile member of the bullpen before returning to the rotation in 2016, finishing 10th in the NL CY Young Award voting. After the 2018 season, the Nats traded him to the Reds who in turn traded him to the A's. Commenting on the trade from Cincinatti, Roark said "I wanted a Beef 'n Cheddar.... and I got traded instead" as he was sitting in an Arby's drive-thru when he learned of the trade. Thereafter he signed a two-year deal with Toronto but struggled in 2020 and 2021.
The existing facegen for Roark is innocuous enough, it's just one of those comes-with-the-game smiling ones. So, consider my fg as simply an alternative.
