Tyler Rogers Reportedly Traded to Mets, Giants Get Jose Butto, More amid MLB Rumors

The New York Mets acquired reliever Tyler Rogers in a trade with the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

New York reportedly sent relief pitcher José Buttó, outfield prospect Drew Gilbert and pitching prospect Blade Tidwell to San Francisco as part of the swap.

Fans reacted to the Mets' acquisition of the 34-year-old.

The Mets paid a hefty price for Rogers, but he should immediately serve as one of their top bullpen options moving forward.

He's in the midst of an impressive individual 2025 campaign, owning a 1.80 ERA and 0.860 WHIP. Rogers has also remained consistent in recent years, as he holds a 2.74 ERA since the start of the 2021 season.

The submarine pitcher doesn't rack up strikeouts, but has only walked four batters in 50 innings of work this season. Rogers has a 64.4 ground-ball percentage in 2025, the third-highest among all relievers (via FanGraphs).

He's set to enter free agency at the end of the 2025 season.

It was a busy day for the Rogers family as his twin brother, Taylor, was also traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

As for Tyler, he'll look to help New York fight for the No. 1 position in the National League East. The Mets currently sit at 62-46, holding a narrow lead of 0.5 games over the Philadelphia Phillies for the top spot in the division.

Meanwhile, the Giants added multiple future pieces in the deal. Tidwell and Gilbert as ranked as New York's No. 10 and No. 12 prospects, respectively (via MLB.com).

Buttó hasn't looked as sharp in 2025 compared to a strong 2024 season, as his ERA has gone from 2.55 to 3.64. Still, the 27-year-old is an intriguing piece for San Francisco with a career average of 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings.
