Tyler Rogers signing $37 million Blue Jays…
Another member of the 2025 Mets bullpen is waving goodbye to Queens.
Right-hander Tyler Rogers has agreed to a three-year, $37 million contract with the Blue Jays, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed Friday evening.
Heyman reported Thursday that the Mets had been in bringing back the submariner, but his market in free company was “robust.”
That market apparently included the Blue Jays, who gave the 34-year-old Rogers a fourth-year vesting option that may increase the worth of the deal to $48 million. The contract contains no deferrals.

Rogers was one of the three relievers — along with Ryan Helsley and Gregory Soto — whom the Mets acquired at the commerce deadline in their ill-fated attempt to kind a tremendous bullpen down the stretch.
After coming over from the Giants, Rogers by far had the most success out of the three arms, pitching to a 2.30 ERA and 1.098 WHIP over 27 1/3 innings.
His 81 appearances between San Francisco and New York led the majors.
Rogers is a sinker-slider pitcher, and what he lacks in velocity — his sinker is sort of 11 mph slower than the MLB average — he makes up for in inducing weak contact.
Opponents have hit just .241/.285/.344 against him and his funky supply.
Across 424 profession innings, he holds a 2.76 ERA despite accumulating just 306 strikeouts. Only once has he completed a season with an ERA above 4.00, and that got here in the COVID-shortened 2020 marketing campaign.
Rogers marks the third Mets reliever this week to depart New York for another membership. Edwin Diaz signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Dodgers while Soto inked a one-year, $7.75 million contract with the Pirates.
Toronto, which got here two outs shy of successful the World Series, already signed top starter Dylan Cease to a $210 million deal this offseason and now locks down one of the most constant relievers in the sport this decade.
