The New York Mets made a big move on Wednesday to bolster their bullpen ahead of a run towards the playoffs. The Mets struck a deal with the San Fransisco Giants to acquire top reliever Tyler Rogers. They shipped a couple of former Tennessee baseball stars out west to get the deal done.
Both Blade Tidwell and Drew Gilbert — New York’s 10th and 12th ranked prospects — will join the San Fransisco organization.
