"The Twins are bringing old friend Taylor Rogers back on a one-year, $2MM contract, per Ken Rosenthal and Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. Rogers, who's represented by Frontline, spent the 2016-21 seasons in Minnesota, spending the latter three as their closer. A reunion with the 35-year-old Rogers makes sense for a Twins club that's in dire need of steady arms in the bullpen."
"While the left-hander isn't close to the peak form he showed late in his original run with Minnesota, he pitched to a solid 3.38 ERA with an above-average 24% strikeout rate in 50 2/3 innings between the Reds and Cubs in 2025. Rogers' 10.4% walk rate was the second-highest of his lengthy career and more than double the 4.3% mark he posted over his best three seasons as a Twin (2019-21), but he was a useful middle relief arm in both Cincinnati and Chicago this past season."
Taylor Rogers signed a one-year, $2 million contract to return to the Twins. He previously pitched in Minnesota from 2016–21 and served as the club's closer for three seasons. The 35-year-old left-hander posted a 3.38 ERA with a 24% strikeout rate across 50 2/3 innings with the Reds and Cubs in 2025. His 10.4% walk rate was the second-highest of his career and exceeded the 4.3% mark he posted from 2019–21. Despite control regression, Rogers remained a useful middle-relief arm in Cincinnati and Chicago. He is represented by Frontline. The signing aims to add steady bullpen depth.
