On the eve of the MLB trade deadline, the San Francisco Giants have made it clear they will not be hard buyers in this market.
According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Giants have traded right-handed reliever Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets in return for prospects Blake Tidwell (pitcher), Drew Gilbert (outfielder), and relief pitcher Jose Butto (3.64 ERA over 47 innings this season).
Rogers has been in the Giants organization since being drafted by San Francisco in the 10th round of the 2013 MLB Draft, but is now on the move for the first time in his Major League career.

Over a league-leading 53 appearances this season, the submarine-pitching Rogers holds a 1.80 ERA while striking out 38 batters over 50 innings.
The move to trade Rogers, one of the best relief pitchers in the game this season, could be the start of a quiet sell-off for the Giants as they navigate a brutal stretch that has dropped them to the .500 mark for the first time since the opening days of the regular season.
San Francisco entered play on Wednesday sitting nine games out of first place in the National League West and five games behind the San Diego Padres for the third and final Wild Card spot.
The Giants already bought big by acquiring Rafael Devers earlier this season, but could look to move more bullpen arms over the next 24 hours to stock up their farm system and look ahead to 2026 and beyond.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline has arrived, and this year’s edition is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory.
Teams have until Thursday, July 31 at 3:00 p.m. PT to make moves that could reshape the playoff picture—or signal a step back toward a rebuild. After that, trades of players on the 40-man roster are off the table.
Here’s everything that you need to know about Thursday’s 2025 MLB Trade Deadline:
How the MLB Trade Deadline Works
Since MLB scrapped August waiver trades a few years ago, the MLB trade deadline is a true do-or-die moment. All deals must be finalized by the cutoff. The league has the flexibility to set the date anywhere between July 28 and August 3, and this year it stuck with the traditional July 31—just with a later 6 p.m. ET finish instead of the old 4 p.m.
Buyers, Sellers, and Teams in Between
A few teams have made their intentions crystal clear. The Yankees, Phillies, and Mariners are going all in, aggressively looking for starting pitching and bullpen help. The Blue Jays have also signaled they’re ready to deal prospects for immediate upgrades.
