The New York Mets are acquiring right-handed reliever Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The Mets paid a very hefty price for Rogers, sending right-hander Jos Butto, outfield prospect Drew Gilbert and right-handed pitching prospect Blade Tidwell to the Giants, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Rogers' identical twin brother, Taylor Rogers, was traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier Wednesday.
Tyler Rogers, 34, is 4-3 with a 1.80 ERA and 38 strikeouts, with just 4 walks, in 50 innings this season. He has spent all seven of his MLB seasons with San Francisco, and he has a 2.74 ERA over the last five.
Rogers, who will be a free agent after the season, is a submariner who doesn't throw hard but just gets outs and has been a model of consistency.
The trade was first reported by The Athletic.
ESPN's Jeff Passan contributed to this report.
