After seven seasons with the San Francisco Giants, relief pitcher Tyler Rogers has signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 34-year-old Rogers, known for his unconventional submarine-style delivery, was a fan favorite in the Bay Area, inspiring a generation of young pitchers with his unique approach. Though he struggled at times in high-leverage situations, Rogers was a consistent and valuable member of the Giants' bullpen, posting a 1.80 ERA and 1.7 bWAR over his final season in San Francisco.
Why it matters
Rogers' departure marks the end of an era for the Giants, as they lose a reliable and beloved member of their pitching staff. His unorthodox style made him a fan favorite, and his consistent performance over the past several seasons will be difficult to replace. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have added an experienced and effective reliever to their bullpen as they look to make a deep playoff run.
The details
In his final season with the Giants, Rogers appeared in 81 games, posting a 1.98 ERA and 2.88 FIP over 77.1 innings pitched. His career-best performance earned him strong consideration for an All-Star selection, though he ultimately missed out. The Giants received a package of MLB-ready and near-ready talent in exchange for Rogers, including right-handed pitchers Jose Butto and Blade Tidwell, and outfielder Drew Gilbert.
- Rogers' final appearance as a Giant came on July 29, 2025 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- Rogers signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 offseason.

The takeaway
The departure of Tyler Rogers marks the end of an era for the San Francisco Giants, as they lose a beloved and reliable member of their bullpen. While the team received a strong package of prospects in return, replacing Rogers' unique skill set and consistent performance will be a challenge. For the Toronto Blue Jays, the addition of Rogers bolsters their bullpen as they look to make a deep playoff run, and the veteran reliever will look to continue his success in a new environment.
