Mets Weigh Reunion With Submarine Reliever Tyler Rogers as Bullpen Search Intensifies

The pursuit reflects a broader bullpen reset following Edwin Díaz's departure.

Overview

  • Jon Heyman reports the Mets are interested in bringing back Tyler Rogers, with multiple outlets describing a very strong market for the right-hander.
  • The Marlins and Mariners are also linked to Rogers, and contract forecasts range from MLB Trade Rumors’ two years at $18 million to Spotrac’s two years at about $22.7 million, with ESPN reporting a three-year deal is possible.
  • Rogers posted a 1.98 ERA across 81 appearances in 2025 and recorded a 2.30 ERA over 27–28 outings after his midseason trade to New York.
  • Known for an extreme submarine delivery, Rogers averaged about 83.5 mph on his fastball and carried a 17.6% strikeout rate in 2025, yet consistently limited hard contact and induced grounders.
  • New York’s bullpen needs remain after Díaz joined the Dodgers and Gregory Soto and Ryan Helsley signed elsewhere, with president David Stearns indicating Devin Williams would close if the season began today.
