Overview

  • Toronto’s agreement includes a vesting option for a fourth year that can lift the total value to $48 million, according to multiple reports.
  • Rogers is coming off a career-best 2025 with a 1.98 ERA, MLB-leading 81 appearances, a 0.94 WHIP and a 203 ERA+ after a midseason trade to the Mets.
  • Coaches and analysts highlight the sequencing advantage of following high-release starter Trey Yesavage with Rogers’ extreme submarine delivery.
  • ESPN’s David Schoenfield notes the contract carries age-related risk as Rogers turns 35 soon and could approach 38 if the option vests.
  • The signing extends Toronto’s pitching overhaul after adding starters Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, with Jeff Hoffman expected to close for now and new reliever Chase Lee joining the bullpen mix.
