In trading Taylor Rogers to Cincinnati, the Giants now only have one left-handed reliever on their 40-man roster. Last season, the Giants used only four lefties out of the bullpen: Rogers (60 innings), Erik Miller (67 1/3 innings), Raymond Burgos (one inning) and outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (one inning).
The Giants had put Taylor Rogers on waivers the previous season. It wasn’t much of a secret that the team was looking to move a chunk of his $12 million salary. But any awkward feelings were overcome by a greater sense of gratitude for the two amazing seasons that the Rogers brothers were able to spend as major-league teammates — a notion so impossible that they never even dared to dream about it.
