Giants Trade Taylor Rogers to Reds, Ending Twins' Bullpen Era

San Francisco offloads Rogers' $12 million salary in exchange for minor league pitcher Braxton Roxby and cash considerations.

The San Francisco Giants traded left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers to the Cincinnati Reds, splitting him from his twin brother and bullpen teammate, Tyler Rogers.
The Reds acquired Rogers and $6 million in cash to offset half of his $12 million salary for 2025, the final year of his three-year contract.
Taylor Rogers posted a strong 2.40 ERA in 60 innings during the 2024 season but was primarily used in non-high-leverage situations.
The trade reduces the Giants' financial commitments for 2025 and leaves Erik Miller as the only left-handed reliever on their 40-man roster.
The Giants received 25-year-old right-handed minor league pitcher Braxton Roxby, who had a 5.21 ERA in Double-A last season but has shown promise with 233 strikeouts over four minor league seasons.
