TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays have added another arm to their pitching staff after agreeing to terms with workhorse reliever Tyler Rogers.

The deal announced Monday by the Blue Jays is for US$37 million over three years, with an option for the 2029 season.

The 34-year-old right-hander from Denver split the 2025 season between the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets, combining to post a 1.98 earned-run average over a Major League Baseball-leading 81 appearances.

Rogers leads the majors with 403 appearances and 406.1 relief innings pitched since 2020.

Toronto had already added starting pitchers Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce in free agency and reliever Chase Lee in a trade with Detroit this off-season.

Rogers was selected by the Giants in the 10th round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of Austin Peay State University, making his MLB debut with the team in 2019.

Over seven MLB seasons with the Giants and Mets, he has posted a 2.76 earned-run average over 420 appearances 

In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays designated left-handed reliever Justin Bruihl for assignment.
