Toronto Blue Jays Sign Tyler Rogers to $37 Million, Three-Year Contract
The Toronto Blue Jays have made another significant move to bolster their pitching staff, finalizing a $37 million, three-year contract with sidearming right-hander Tyler Rogers on December 15, 2025. The deal, which includes a 2029 option, marks the latest addition to the Blue Jays’ pitching roster, following agreements with Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, as well as the acquisition of reliever Chase Lee from the Detroit Tigers.
Rogers, 34, brings a wealth of experience to the Blue Jays, having led the major leagues in pitching appearances this year with 81 games played for the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets.
