Mets bolster bullpen again, acquire Tyler Rogers from Giants for José Buttó, two others

The Mets are doubling down on bullpen upgrades, trading pitchers José Buttó and Blade Tidwell plus outfield prospect Drew Gilbert to the Giants for reliever Tyler Rogers. Buttó and Tidwell had limited MLB action this year, while Gilbert was a minor-league asset. Rogers, a sidearming veteran, adds another proven arm to New York’s late-inning mix.
Editor’s Note: Bullpens win tight games, and the Mets clearly aren’t messing around. Rogers brings experience and a funky delivery to a team pushing for October. Giving up a prospect like Gilbert stings, but it signals the Mets are prioritizing now over maybe later. For the Giants? They’re banking on upside with young arms and a future piece in Gilbert. Baseball’s trade math is always a gamble—this one’s about immediate wins for New York.
