The San Francisco Giants have traded left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for pitching prospect Braxton Roxby. This move comes after Rogers spent two seasons with the Giants, where he compiled a solid 3.06 ERA across 111.2 innings, striking out 128 batters. The deal reflects the Giants' strategy of leveraging their bullpen depth to acquire promising young talent.

Rogers, who signed a three-year, $33 million contract before the 2023 season, joins his twin brother, Tyler, in the Reds' bullpen. Meanwhile, Braxton Roxby, a 25-year-old right-hander, showed potential at Double-A Chattanooga in 2024, despite a 5.21 ERA. This trade is indicative of both teams' long-term planning and aspirations.
