The Toronto Blue Jays Beef Up Bullpen with Tyler Rogers Signing
The Toronto Blue Jays have made a strategic addition to their bullpen by signing veteran reliever Tyler Rogers to a lucrative three-year, $37 million deal. This move, officially announced by the team on Monday, comes with a vesting option that could potentially extend the contract to four years and $48 million.
At 35 years old, Rogers has established himself as a reliable and durable reliever in the world of baseball. Since his debut with the San Francisco Giants in 2019, he has consistently been a top performer in terms of appearances, pitching over 70 innings since the 2021 season.
Rogers’ remarkable ability to handle heavy workloads while maintaining a high level of performance has earned him a reputation as a go-to option in crucial game situations. In 2025, he set a career high by appearing in 81 games for the Giants and New York Mets, finishing with an impressive 1.98 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 77 1/3 innings pitched.
What sets Rogers apart is his unique pitching style—he releases the ball from just above the ground, generating extreme horizontal movement and a deceptive angle that confuses hitters. Despite not relying on overpowering velocity, with his fastball typically in the mid-80s, Rogers forces batters to adjust their swing due to the unconventional trajectory and late movement of his pitches.
Toronto’s front office has been actively bolstering their bullpen this offseason, with Tyler Rogers being a key addition. This move follows the acquisition of reliever Chase Lee from the Detroit Tigers and the selection of right-hander Spencer Miles in the Rule 5 Draft.
As the Blue Jays gear up for the 2026 season, Rogers joins the team alongside other high-leverage options such as Jeff Hoffman, Louis Varland, Yimi Garcia, Brendon Little, and Mason Fluharty. With a solid bullpen lineup taking shape, the Blue Jays are set to make waves in the upcoming season.
