The Toronto Blue Jays signed reliever Tyler Rogers to a three-year contract worth $37 million with a vesting option on Friday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The overall contract value with the option included is $48 million, per Rosenthal.
Toronto already ranked No. 3 among MLB teams with a $275 million payroll in 2026 before signing Rogers (via FanGraphs).
Here’s a look at the Blue Jays’ projected bullpen.
Toronto Blue Jays Projected 2026 Bullpen
Rogers opened the 2025 season with the San Francisco Giants before he was traded to the New York Mets on July 30. He spent each of the first six years of his career in San Francisco prior to the swap.
The submarine pitcher put together an impressive 2025 campaign with both teams, posting a 1.98 ERA to go along with 0.944 WHIP across 81 combined appearances.
Rogers owned a 1.80 ERA with the Giants last season before compiling a 2.30 ERA as a member of the Mets, an encouraging sign for Toronto following his latest change of scenery.
He boasts a career 2.76 ERA despite averaging just 6.5 strikeouts per nine innings, routinely forcing opposing hitters to ground out. Rogers’ 62.1 ground-ball percentage in 2025 ranked No. 6 among all relief pitchers (via FanGraphs).
The Blue Jays are coming off an impressive season in which they put together a 94-68 record before advancing to Game 7 of the World Series, but their bullpen struggled with consistency at times throughout the year.
Toronto’s 3.98 bullpen ERA only ranked No. 16 in the majors.
The Blue Jays have already been one of the most active MLB teams in the offseason so far, handing starting pitcher Dylan Cease a seven-year contract worth $210 million on Nov. 26.
Now, Rogers will look to provide more stability to their bullpen.
