How the 3 players the NY Mets traded to the SF Giants for Tyler Rogers finished 2025

The most immediately costly New York Mets trade at the deadline also happened to reward them the most. Tyler Rogers wasn’t a perfect pitcher. In the right situation, usually with no men on base, he was consistently good at preventing runs. His 2.30 ERA in 27.1 innings was about what we could have asked for from the 7-year veteran who did his usual thing.

Rogers barely walked anyone, didn’t strike out many batters, and relied on weak contact and ground balls. A debatable player to re-sign this offseason, the trade will be the fastest one to we’ll be able to fully grade.

It cost the Mets three players, two with MLB experience, to acquire Rogers. How’d they finish the 2025 season?

Jose Butto - 4.50 ERA in 20 MLB innings

Jose Butto is the complete opposite type of pitcher from Rogers. Unable to go back-to-backs, the Mets preferred the durable usage they could get out of Rogers over the two innings on Monday and one more on Friday Butto was only consistently able to add. The 4.50 ERA wasn’t great with basically every number getting worse in his brief time with the Giants. Although someone who can have a promising career ahead, trading him opened up a roster spot the Mets can better utilize moving forward.

Drew Gilbert - .190/.248/.350 slash line with 3 home runs in 109 MLB plate appearances

Just a limited time spent in the minors with the Giants, Drew Gilbert became a quick fan favorite in San Francisco because of his “hair on fire” style of play and personality. A fun personality for sure, his play on the field showed he is no lock to be on the major league roster to begin next season. The Mets had their doubts about Gilbert and a .190/.248/.350 slash line in just over 100 trips to the plate proved he wasn’t quite ready. He’ll play next season at 25-years-old. It’ll be a crucial campaign where Gilbert can prove he’s worthy of more than a part-time role, if at all, in the majors.

Blade Tidwell - 1.50 ERA in 18 innings, 12 K/9 in AAA

Blade Tidwell is the only one of the three who didn’t experience the majors with the Giants. Following his 15 earned runs in 15 innings with the Mets, he’d spend the remainder of 2025 in Triple-A putting up outstanding totals. He made 3 starts and a relief appearance totaling 18 innings. A 1.50 ERA with 12 K/9 highlighted his time on the farm. His 0.77 WHIP and 2.5 BB/9 were other improvements he made to put him on the Giants’ radar.
