The Cincinnati Reds are finalizing a trade with the San Francisco Giants for left-hander Taylor Rogers, FanSided and ESPN reported Wednesday.

The Reds are sending minor league right-hander Braxton Roxby to the Giants in return, according to FanSided.

Rogers, 34, is entering the final season of a three-year, $33 million deal he signed with the Giants ahead of the 2023 season. He’s set to make $12 million in 2025.

He went 1-4 with a 2.40 ERA in 64 relief appearances last season with the Giants.

He is 28-34 with a 3.34 ERA and 83 saves in 509 career relief appearances with four teams, most notably the Minnesota Twins (2016-21). He made the American League All-Star team in 2021. He has a career strikeout rate of 10.5 per 9 innings.

Rogers’ twin brother, Tyler, has spent the past six seasons with the Giants.

Roxby, 25, went 0-4 with a 5.21 ERA in 39 relief appearances for Double-A Chattanooga in 2024.

On Tuesday afternoon, the A’s announced that they have traded right-handed reliever Will Klein to the Seattle Mariners for International Slot Money.

The roster moves come not long after they agreed to a one-year, $10-million deal with reliever Jose Leclerc and their 15 international player signings.

The following is via the A’s Press Release:

Will Klein was one of three players acquired from Kansas City in the Lucas Erceg trade on July 30, 2024. He made his Major League debut last year, pitching in five games for the Royals and three for the A’s.

The 25-year-old right-hander combined for an 11.05 ERA and .990 opponents OPS in eight games overall.

Klein spent the balance of the season at the Triple-A level and was a combined 2-2 with a minor league career-high nine saves, a 3.77 ERA and .645 opponents OPS in 38 relief appearances with Omaha (34 games) and Las Vegas (four games).
