Taylor Rogers Eyes 2027 Return With Twins or Blue Jays
The veteran lefty reliever wants a 12th MLB season and has two preferred destinations heading into free agency this winter.
Taylor Rogers, 35, confirmed plans to pitch in 2027 after posting a 4.33 ERA over 60.1 innings with Minnesota in 2026. He would prefer either a new deal with the Twins or a move to Toronto to reunite with twin brother Tyler Rogers. His 2026 salary was $2MM, a figure expected to anchor his asking price this offseason. Rogers also provided mentorship value in Minnesota's bullpen, which could factor into the Twins' interest in retaining him.
