Rogers, a 34-year-old lefty, made 40 appearances in Cincinnati this season and held hitters to a .240 batting average with a 2.45 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 33 innings pitched. He spent the previous two seasons with the San Francisco Giants alongside his brother, Tyler.
Hours later, it was Tyler’s turn to start packing. The Giants sent the submarine reliever, who will be a free agent after this season, to the New York Mets for a package consisting of José Butto, Drew Gilbert and Blade Tidwell.
That move follows the Mets’ adding Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles last week. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said earlier this month that he wanted to bring in “reinforcements” for his team’s bullpen. He has done just that with the addition of a workhorse reliever.

According to Stathead, Rogers’ 375 appearances since 2020 are the most by any MLB pitcher in that span. In 53 games this season in San Francisco, he has recorded a 1.80 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, .212 opponent batting average and 38 strikeouts in 50 innings pitched.
