Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/p>\n<p>Rogers was one of the three relievers \u2014 along with Ryan Helsley and Gregory Soto \u2014 whom the Mets acquired at the trade deadline in their ill-fated attempt to form a super bullpen down the stretch. <\/p>\n<p>After coming over from the Giants, Rogers by far had the most success out of the three arms, pitching to a 2.30 ERA and 1.098 WHIP over 27 1\/3 innings. <\/p>\n<p>His 81 appearances between San Francisco and New York led the majors. <\/p>\n<p>Rogers is a sinker-slider pitcher, and what he lacks in velocity \u2014 his sinker is nearly 11 mph slower than the MLB average \u2014 he makes up for in inducing weak contact. <\/p>\n<p>Opponents have hit just .241\/.285\/.344 against him and his funky delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Across 424 career innings, he holds a 2.76 ERA despite accumulating just 306 strikeouts. Only once has he finished a season with an ERA above 4.00, and that came in the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Rogers marks the third Mets reliever this week to leave New York for another club. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/09\/sports\/edwin-diaz-heading-to-dodgers-in-massive-mets-blow\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Edwin Diaz signed a three-year, $69 million contract<\/a> with the Dodgers while <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/09\/sports\/ex-met-gregory-soto-agrees-to-7-75-million-contract-with-pirates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Soto inked a one-year, $7.75 million contract<\/a> with the Pirates.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto, which came two outs shy of winning the World Series, already <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/11\/26\/sports\/dylan-cease-signing-with-blue-jays-in-210-million-free-agent-splash\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">signed top starter Dylan Cease to a $210 million deal this offseason<\/a> and now locks down one of the most consistent relievers in the game this decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another member of the 2025 Mets bullpen is waving goodbye to Queens.
