The most immediately costly New York Mets trade at the deadline also happened to reward them the most. Tyler Rogers wasn’t a perfect pitcher. In the right situation, usually with no men on base, he was consistently good at preventing runs. His 2.30 ERA in 27.1 innings was about what we could have asked for from the 7-year veteran who did his usual thing.
Rogers barely walked anyone, didn’t strike out many batters, and relied on weak contact and ground balls. A debatable player to re-sign this offseason, the trade will be the fastest one to we’ll be able to fully grade.
