"Rogers is entering his age-35 season, he has only a 17.6% career strikeout rate, and his fastball velocity averaged just 83.5mph in 2025. All of these factors would seemingly make modern front offices steer clear of Rogers, yet the results don't lie - few pitchers in all of baseball are better at limiting hard contact, inducing grounders, or limiting walks. A unique submarine-style delivery only adds to Rogers' old-school approach, contributing to his 2.76 ERA over 424 career innings as a bullpen workhorse."
"New York has added Devin Williams to its late-game mix, Cooper Criswell was added on waivers, and some other arms have been signed on minor league contracts. However, the Mets are in greater need of bullpen help than when they started the offseason, since , Gregory Soto, and Ryan Helsley have all signed elsewhere. Bringing Rogers back as an innings-eater and stabilizing force within the pen would be a huge help for the Mets as another step toward rebuilding their relief corps."
Tyler Rogers posted a 2.30 ERA in 27 1/3 innings for the Mets after a deadline acquisition. Rogers enters age 35 with a 17.6% career strikeout rate and an 83.5 mph average fastball velocity, yet excels at limiting hard contact, inducing ground balls, and limiting walks. His submarine delivery complements a 2.76 ERA across 424 career innings as a reliable bullpen workhorse. MLB Trade Rumors projected a two-year, $18MM deal while ESPN suggested he could command three years. The Mets, amid losses of other late-inning options, view Rogers as a candidate to stabilize and eat innings in the bullpen.
