CINCINNATI - Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall today announced the acquisition of LHP Taylor Rogers and cash considerations from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for minor league RHP Braxton Roxby.

          Rogers, 34, was an American League All-Star with Minnesota in 2021. Last season, he pitched to a 1-4 record with a career-best 2.40 ERA (60ip, 22r/16er) and 64 strikeouts across 64 appearances for the San Francisco Giants.

          Rogers in 2019 was recognized as Minnesota's Joseph W. Haynes Pitcher of the Year by the local chapter of the BBWAA. That year, he became just the fourth Twins left-handed pitcher to record at least 30 saves in a season and posted the lowest strikeout-to-walk ratio (8.18) by a reliever in franchise history.

          Rogers, an 11th-round pick of the Twins in the 2012 first-year player draft out of the University of Kentucky, has pitched in parts of 9 Major League seasons with the Minnesota Twins (2016-21), San Diego Padres (2022), Milwaukee Brewers (2022), and San Francisco Giants (2023-24). He ranks among all active left-handed relievers in saves (83, 4th), strikeouts (573, 5th), appearances (509, 6th), and wins (28, T6th).

          Rogers was teammates with his twin brother, Tyler, for the last 2 seasons in San Francisco, making them the fourth set of twins to play on the same team in MLB history.

          Roxby, 26, went 0-4 with a 5.21 ERA (48.1ip, 34r/28er) across 39 appearances for AA-Chattanooga last season. Originally signed by the Reds as a non-drafted free agent on June 15, 2020, Roxby pitched in 130 games across parts of 4 seasons in their system.

          In a corresponding move, the Reds have designated for assignment RHP Owen White, who was acquired from the Rangers on January 6. Cincinnati's 40-player roster is at capacity.
