As for the Mets, this is a huge trade. Tylers Rogers has been outstanding this season, and this year is no fluke. His consistency is what sets him apart.
“Tyler Rogers is really good,” Jeff Passan said in a post. “Submariner who doesn't throw hard but just gets outs. Has a 1.80 ERA this season and 2.74 over the last five years. Consistent relievers are hard to come by, and Rogers, who's a free agent after this season, has been a model of consistency.”
As you can see, the experts around Major League Baseball have a lot of good things to say about Tyler Rogers. The Mets are currently in first place in the NL East, but they are just a half game up on the Philadelphia Phillies. That division race is going to be tight until the end, and New York is making sure that it has some of the top talent in the league to help get the team to the finish line.
