The San Francisco Giants traded left-hander Taylor Rogers to the Cincinnati Reds, freeing up financial resources while allowing the Rogers twins to potentially share the same Opening Day in Cincinnati. Rogers, 34, pitched for the Giants with a 3.06 ERA but was set to earn $12 million in 2025. The Giants received Braxton Roxby, a young right-handed reliever who struggled with a 5.21 ERA last season, but had a promising 3.15 FIP and unique pitches. This created a gap in left-handed options for the Giants as they prepare for the new season.
The San Francisco Giants traded left-hander Taylor Rogers to the Cincinnati Reds, reallocating financial resources while allowing twins Taylor and Tyler Rogers to share a ballpark on Opening Day.
Taylor Rogers posted a 3.06 ERA over 111 2/3 innings for the Giants but was slated to make $12 million in 2025, prompting the move.
Braxton Roxby, the player acquired by the Giants, had a 5.21 ERA last season but a 3.15 FIP, highlighting his potential despite struggles.
