Adam Marcos Rosales (born May 20, 1983) is an American professional baseball infielder for the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Cincinnati Reds, Texas Rangers, and San Diego Padres.
Rosales, who is of Mexican-American descent, attended Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Illinois, where he received All-State honors, and Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
As a young player in amateur baseball, Rosales was a member of a 13-year-old travel baseball team called The Diamonds. The Diamonds team, coached by Pete Podgorski won several tournaments including the 13-year-old division Championship tournament game at Thillens Stadium.
Rosales' wife Callie gave birth to a daughter, Juliet, in June 2014.
He made his Major League debut as a pinch hitter for the Cincinnati Reds on August 9, 2008. Rosales was recalled from Louisville on August 20 following the injury of Jerry Hairston, Jr.
Rosales began the 2009 season with the Triple-A Louisville Bats after failing to earn a spot on the Reds' roster. He was called up on April 28 following the placement of Edwin Encarnacion on the 15-day disabled list. He was sent back to the minors exactly two months later.
On February 1, 2010, Rosales was traded along with Willy Taveras to the Oakland Athletics for Aaron Miles and a player to be named later. In his first three years with the A's, Rosales batted .234 with a .292 on-base percentage in 415 at-bats, 11 home runs, 47 RBIs, and two stolen bases in four attempts.
