Blue Jays officially announce Tyler Rogers signing, designate Justin Bruihl for assignment
"Rogers, whose free-agent contract includes a $12 million vesting option ($1 million buyout) in 2029, had spent his entire professional career with the San Francisco Giants before being traded to the New York Mets ahead of last season's trade deadline. His '29 option will become guaranteed if he meets at least one of these two criteria: log 110 appearances combined from 2027-28 or 60 in '28."
"Bruihl went back and forth between the majors and triple-A Buffalo several times throughout last season, appearing in 15 games (13.2 innings) with Toronto and pitching to a 5.27 ERA and 4.16 FIP, striking out 18 batters and walking three. He also made one appearance during the ALDS, allowing a pair of earned runs on three hits - including a home run - in Game 2 versus the New York Yankees."
"Rogers was a workhorse in the Bay Area, leading all major-league relievers in appearances (374) and innings pitched (378.1) since 2021. Last season, the 34-year-old righty posted career-bests in appearances (81), ERA (1.98), FIP (2.88), OPP AVG (.227), ground-ball rate (62.1 per cent) and matched his highest fWAR (1.3) - all excluding the 17-game sample size from his rookie campaign."
Tyler Rogers signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays that includes a $12 million vesting option and $1 million buyout for 2029. The 2029 option becomes guaranteed if Rogers logs 110 combined appearances in 2027-28 or 60 appearances in 2028. To open a 40-man roster spot, Toronto designated left-hander Justin Bruihl for assignment; Bruihl appeared in 15 games for the Blue Jays in 2025 with a 5.27 ERA and made one ALDS appearance. Rogers led all relievers in appearances (374) and innings (378.1) since 2021 and posted career-best metrics in 2025.
