One of the Giants’ longest-tenured players is on the move.

San Francisco traded right-handed relief pitcher Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets for three players, the team announced Wednesday.

The Giants received pitchers Blake Tidwell, José Butto and outfielder Drew Gilbert in return.

San Francisco designated right-handed relief pitcher Sean Hjelle for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster.

Tidwell, a 24-year-old right-handed pitching prospect, posted a 4.10 ERA with 87 strikeouts and 32 walks in 79 innings pitched (17 appearances, 14 starts) for Triple-A Syracuse while posting a 9.00 ERA in 15 major-league innings (four appearances, two starts) with the Mets.

Gilbert, a 24-year-old outfielder, batted .255/.356/.455 with 14 home runs and 52 RBI in 87 games between New York’s Single- and Triple-A levels this season.

The third player the Giants acquired, Butto, is a 27-year-old relief pitcher at the major-league level who posted a 3.64 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 22 walks in 47 innings pitched this season.
