Overview

  • Tyler Rogers has led MLB in appearances while posting a 1.80 ERA, a 64.4% groundball rate and the lowest walk rate (2.1%) among qualified relievers this season.
  • In the swap, the Mets sent right-hander José Buttó, outfield prospect Drew Gilbert and pitching prospect Blade Tidwell to San Francisco.
  • Buttó found out about his trade mid-game at Petco Park, prompting cameras to capture him fighting back tears in the Mets bullpen before teammates consoled him.
  • Fans reacted on social media, branding the live announcement “classless” and arguing that New York overpaid for a rental reliever who becomes a free agent after the season.
  • San Francisco bolstered organizational depth by adding Gilbert’s outfield potential and pitching prospects Tidwell and Buttó in exchange for an expiring bullpen asset.
