Mets involved in trading Rogers brothers during baseball's deadlines simultaneously
Rare Occurrence: Baseball Brothers Traded on the Same Day
In a unique turn of events, the 2025 MLB season saw a rare occurrence when twin brothers, Tyler Rogers and Taylor Rogers, both pitchers, were traded on the same day. This event, reminiscent of historical instances such as the Conway, Ferrell, Sauer, and Breeden brothers, marked a significant moment in baseball history.
On July 31, 2025, Tyler, a submarining right-hander, was traded from the Giants to the Mets, while Taylor was traded from the Pirates to the Reds. This was the first time Tyler Rogers changed teams since being drafted in 2013.
The Mets acquired Tyler Rogers as part of a deal that sent pitchers Blake Tidwell, Jose Butto, and outfield prospect Drew Gilbert to the Giants. Meanwhile, the Reds acquired Taylor Rogers during the offseason in exchange for shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura and Ke'Bryan Hayes.
Historically, such instances of brothers being traded on the same day are not common in MLB history. Notable examples include the Conway, Ferrell, Sauer, and Breeden brothers, with the latter's trade year being unspecified.
| Brothers | Year | Notes | |-----------------------|-------|--------------------------------------------------| | Tyler and Taylor Rogers | 2025 | Twins, both pitchers, traded to different teams on same day | | Bill and Dick Conway | 1886 | Brothers traded on the same day | | Rick and Wes Ferrell | 1937 | Brothers traded on the same day | | Hank and Ed Sauer | 1949 | Brothers traded on the same day | | Hal and Danny Breeden | N/A | Brothers traded on the same day |
The Mets, who have been struggling to hold leads in their bullpen recently, also acquired Ryan Helsley from the Cardinals and Jesus Baez, Nate Dohm, and Frank Elissalt to acquire him. The Cubs, on the other hand, acquired catcher Danny Breeden and his brother, Hal, during the 1970 offseason.
It's important to note that the details of the trade for the minor league pitcher who was part of Taylor Rogers' trade to the Reds are not specified.
The trade of the Rogers brothers is not the first time baseball brothers were traded on the same day, but it is a notable occurrence in MLB history. As the deadline for acquiring a starting pitcher and a center fielder approaches, it will be interesting to see if more unusual trades unfold in the coming days.
