Overview

  • On non-waiver deadline day, Taylor Rogers went from the Cincinnati Reds to the Pittsburgh Pirates, his third trade of the season and sixth team in 10 major-league years.
  • Hours later, the Giants sent submariner reliever Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets for a package of pitchers and prospects, ending his seven-year tenure in San Francisco.
  • The brothers had teamed up on the Giants in 2023 and 2024 as the fourth set of twins to share an MLB roster and the 10th set of twins in league history.
  • This marks the first occasion that twins were traded on the same day and only the third instance of brothers moved in parallel deadline deals since 1949.
  • Both franchises targeted late-inning support, with Pittsburgh bolstering its left-handed relief corps and the Mets adding Tyler’s distinctive submarine delivery for their postseason drive.
