Mets Pay 'Hefty Price' for Rental Reliever From Giants
The Mets sent right-handed pitcher Jose Butto and two prospects to the Giants: right-handed pitcher Blade Tidwell (New York's No. 10 prospect) and outfielder Drew Gilbert (New York's No. 12 prospect).
ESPN's Jeff Passan called it a 'hefty price' to pay for Rogers, who doesn't blow anyone away with his 83.3 mph sinker — which ranks at the bottom in baseball. But opponents are hitting just .188 against his slider.
'Tyler Rogers is really good. Submariner who doesn't throw hard but just gets outs. Has a 1.80 ERA this season and 2.74 over the last five years. Consistent relievers are hard to come by, and Rogers, who's a free agent after this season, has been a model of consistency,' Passan posted on X.
The Mets already had one of the better bullpens in baseball before acquiring Rogers, ranking fifth in the National League in ERA (3.82) and seventh in batting average allowed (.240). New York also traded for left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles earlier this week.
In four seasons in Queens, Butto posted a 3.45 ERA in 74 games (15 starts) while striking out 163 in 167 innings. Gilbert has a .785 OPS and 12 home runs in 81 Triple-A games this season, while Tidwell has a 4.10 ERA in 17 Triple-A games (14 starts). He also appeared in four games for the Mets this season and posted a 9.00 ERA.
Rogers' twin brother, Taylor, also was traded Wednesday when the Cincinnati Reds sent him to the Pittsburgh Pirates as part of a package for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes.

Aaron Boone's 'Laissez-Faire Attitude' Ripped After Yankees' Humiliating Sweep
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Miami Marlins began life as an MLB franchise in 1993 in the fourth round (of five) of major league expansion. Regular season interleague play began in 1997, and since then, the Marlins — who were called the Florida Marlins until 2012 — had faced MLB's most iconic and winningest team, the New York Yankees, 46 times. Perhaps not surprisingly, the Marlins had a losing record going into the weekend's matchup of the two teams, dropping 24 and winning 22 against the Bronx Bombers. But at no time in the history of the two teams had the Florida/Miami franchise swept a three game series from the 27-time World Series champions. Until now. TORONTO, ON - JULY 21: Manager Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees looks on during batting practice before a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on July 21, 2025 in... TORONTO, ON - JULY 21: Manager Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees looks on during batting practice before a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on July 21, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. MoreThe Yankees, who dropped from a seven-game American League East lead on May 28 to 3 1/2 game deficit heading into Friday, looked like they were righting the ship, taking the final three games of a four-game series against their divisional rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays, before arriving in Miami. But their momentum went straight out the window as the Marlins captured all three contests for the first sweep of the Yankees in the history of the two teams. More MLB: Yankees Manager Called 'Brainwashed' Over Anthony Volpe, 'Weird' Relationship As if the unprecedented sweep was not humiliation enough for the defending AL champions, the three victories raised the Marlins' head-to-head record against New York to 25-24 — making them, unbelievably, the only team in baseball with an all-time winning record against the Yankees. The Marlins' most famous victory over the Yankees came in the 2003 World Series, when the underdog Florida squad, led by righty ace Josh Beckett, beat New York 4-2 to take the second championship in seven years for the franchise — which has not won one since, and has appeared in the postseason only twice in the last 21 years. START SPREADING THE NEWS WE'RE BRINGING THE BROOMS 🎶 — Miami Marlins (@Marlins) August 3, 2025 As the Marlins celebrated, the Yankees tried to make sense of their downward spiral. The three-game series was highlighted, or low-lighted, by a Friday night 13-12 loss which marked the first game since Aug. 12, 1973 — almost exactly 52 years earlier — in which the Yankees scored 12 runs and lost anyway. After the sweep, Yankees catcher and designated hitter Ben Rice told reporters, "I wouldn't say there's concern, but I would say I think a little sense of urgency would be good for us," as quoted by The Athletic beat writer Chris Kirschner. But Kirschner went on to note that a "sense of urgency" is exactly what the Yankees have not been displaying during their two months of mediocrity, in which they have compiled a sorry 25-32 record since leading their division by seven games. More MLB: Yankees Accused of Less-Than-Full Honesty in Aaron Judge Injury Reports "They tend to operate with a laissez-faire attitude that starts with manager Aaron Boone," Kirschner wrote. "Since team captain Aaron Judge said they would hit a hot streak, they're 4-6. Since the Yankees lost two of three to the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 1, they are 24-30, a worse record than the Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and Athletics during this span." Boone, in his statements after Sunday's game, expressed confidence that the Yankees would pull themselves out of the prolonged doldrums. "It's certainly not too late for us," Boone said, quoted by ESPN. "I am confident that we're going to get it together. But that's all it is right now is, you know, it's empty until we start doing it." With such Yankees greats from earlier eras as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez criticizing the team on national television, Boone may wonder if his job is safe. There has certainly been no shortage of calls for the eighth-year manager to be replaced, or at least to take greater "accountability" for the team's lengthy and embarrassing skid.

Josh Jung's 10th-inning homer lifts Rangers over Yankees, 8-5
Josh Jung hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning, after Joc Pederson's tying pinch-hit homer in the ninth, and the Texas Rangers beat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Monday night for their seventh consecutive home win. Jung connected off Jake Bird (4-2) for his 11th homer, a 401-foot drive to left-center after Wyatt Langford was intentionally walked with two outs. Pederson, hitting .132, tied it with a 408-foot shot off Devin Williams. That was the first homer since May 17 for Pederson, in only his eighth game since missing two months with a right hand fracture. Danny Coulombe (2-0), the fourth Texas pitcher and in his third game since being acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline Thursday, worked the 10th for his first Rangers victory. Paul Goldschmidt led off the game with a home run and scored three times for the Yankees, who lost their fourth in a row. All-Star lefty Max Fried left with a 5-4 lead after scuffling through five innings but was denied a major league-best 13th win. The Yankees, just swept in three games at Miami and likely playing their final game before Aaron Judge returns from the injured list, led 5-4 on Giancarlo Stanton's two-run homer in the fourth. Fried needed 105 pitches and matched a season high by allowing eight hits in his 23rd start for the Yankees. He struck out seven but allowed four runs while six consecutive batters reached base in the second. His errant pickoff throw also allowed a run. Goldschmidt hit New York's ninth leadoff homer this season — only the Los Angeles Dodgers (11) have more. Stanton has 10 homers in his 32 games since missing the first 70 games this season with elbow issues. Coulombe fielded Austin Wells' comebacker to start an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play after walking a batter in the 10th. Texas, coming off a 2-5 trip, has won 12 of its last 15 home games. Nathan Eovaldi (9-3, 1.49 ERA), who was 5-0 with a 0.59 ERA in July, starts for Texas on Tuesday night. His last loss was a 1-0 game at New York on May 22. Will Warren (6-5, 4.64) goes for the Yankees.

WWE Raw results, highlights (Aug. 4): Seth Rollins stands tall over CM Punk, LA Knight, Roman Reigns
In the wake of one of the biggest WWE weekends of the year, "Raw" stayed in the tri-state area on Monday night, emanating from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Seth Rollins gives an explanation and gets a title defense Regardless of how you felt about the overall SummerSlam weekend, it's impossible to deny that one of — if not the — high points of the two-night event was Seth Rollins' "ruse of the century." Here are two other near-undeniable takeaways: 1. Rollins and WWE worked nearly all of us brilliantly. It was a masterclass in protecting kayfabe at every level imaginable and will go down as one of the greatest Money in the Bank cash-ins of all time. He described how he pulled it all off during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show earlier Monday. 2. Rollins' dedication to this angle and his year as a whole further proves that we are watching a truly generational talent. He belongs every bit in the conversation alongside Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Cody Rhodes as the best WWE superstar of the past decade. Now that that's out of the way, Rollins cut a relatively generic promo to open the show, but that didn't matter much because he remains incredibly over with the crowd. The big surprise came in the form of an LA Knight appearance. Knight was Rollins' opponent when the the whole fake injury angle started, and he was justifiably irked at the whole situation, challenging Rollins to a World Heavyweight Championship match that was made official by Adam Pearce. Pearce also seemingly evened the playing field by banning Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed from ringside. All of this led to the main event and our... 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 Even with Breakker and Reed banned from ringside, there was no shot this match was going to end clean and surprise, surprise, it didn't. For those of you who read Riggs' recaps week-in and week-out, you know he's not a fan of booking every match to DQ, but it had to be done here and it all worked well. After a very strong main event between Rollins and Knight, we got interference from CM Punk, who Rollins screwed two nights prior at SummerSlam. Punk's attack resulted in Knight being disqualified and making him understandably angry as well. All of this turned into chaos as Breakker and Reed rushed to help Rollins lay waste to his foes. The Vision (I think this is the new stable name for the crew, established earlier in the show) stood tall and the credits began to roll. ::Billy Mays voice:: But wait, there's more! As Rollins, Heyman, Breakker and Reed stood on the ramp, Roman Reigns' music hit and the OTC attacked, leading to a staredown with Rollins before he was ultimate overwhelmed by The Vision. Rollins stomped Reigns, Breakker speared him and Reed delivered a handful of tsunamis to close the show. Moving forward we now have Reigns, Knight and Punk all with legitimate beefs with Rollins directly and it's likely we'll get Reigns written off television for a little while and a World Heavyweight Championship triple threat between Rollins, Punk and Knight. Ultimately, I think this is our path to the men's War Games match in November. 🔥 Burn of the night 🔥 We're getting Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at some point in the future. Bella got a decent pop and had a few moments in her promo, but it paled in comparison to Lynch eviscerating her on the mic (which ALMOST was our gem of the night). Now, if you've watched "WWE: Unreal," you know that bringing personal relationships into promos without previously clearing it can cause some issues — a la Flair and Tiffany Stratton in the WrestleMania build. Considering Lynch and Bella have been in the company together for a decade, I'd be stunned if this promo wasn't discussed and planned together beforehand. It doesn't change how amazing it was. Lynch will face Maxxine Dupri next week before presumably a showdown with Natalya and then Bella. Champions of Convenience I called Flair and Alexa Bliss during Uncrowned's live coverage of SummerSlam Night 1 and I'll be damned if the name isn't going to stick — at least in this space. Anyway, how good are Flair and Bliss together? Flair got a "you deserve it" chant from the Brooklyn crowd — something that would have been unheard of before this run. The chemistry is there, the promo work was golden and even got hints of jelling together in the ring when they pulled off a tandem Natural Selection in a title rematch against Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. The match was just as good as their SummerSlam bout and should be the start of a prolonged run for these two. Let's make Rh-Iyo a thing Immediately after Flair and Bliss retained, we got a backstage segment featuring the Kabuki Warriors, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. Asuka and Kairi Sane — former women's tag champs themselves — left the two longtime rivals to talk, teasing a possible tag team forming. Ripley revealed Sky asked for and was granted a title match against Naomi and that she'd be rooting for her. The big issue here — Naomi is already slated to put her Women's World Championship on the line against Stephanie Vaquer at Clash in Paris later this month. Here's hoping Naomi-Sky next week serves as vehicle to get Ripley and Sky to team together and build some more momentum in the women's tag division. Big G joining the New Day? Before John Cena's polarizing heel turn, we had The New Day pull off one of the biggest character changes in recent history. Like Cena, the New Day's run hasn't quite hit the heights of the initial shock, but there's hope — in the form of Grayson Waller. Waller — who is going by Big G — went through a breakup of his own recently and is looking for a new crew to run with. Enter Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, who are still "mourning" the loss of their World Tag Team Championship. Waller put on a really strong match against Penta, and despite losing with Kingston and Woods watching ringside, I can't help but feel that I care a whole lot more about Big G and the New Day linked than separate. Monday Night Meh 1. We got Sheamus versus Rusev again, which was fine, but it's about time for us to put this rivalry to bed one way or the other. The biggest reaction from the crowd came after both men were counted out and a ringside brawl broke out. Give us Sheamus vs. Rusev No DQ in a "Raw" main event and have them either team up or move on after that. 2. Rusev and Sheamus' fighting continued throughout the night, including during a backstage interview segment with Sami Zayn. Zayn said Karrion Kross is in his rear-view (thankfully) and his sights were set on becoming a world champion. He's at best 4th or 5th in line to challenge and just got interrupted by a brawl in a relatively throwaway feud. There's a lot of work to do, a match against Rusev next week doesn't get him any closer. 3. Dominik Mysterio's match against Dragon Lee was very good, but the ending got a little out of hand. Mysterio's boot slipped off in a callback to 24 hours earlier in his match against A.J. Styles at SummerSlam, El Grande Americano along with two other imposters interfered and Mysterio grabbed the bottom rope to beat Lee. That's a lot to keep track of and overshadowed the in-ring work. 🤔 Monday musings 🤔 1. Becky Lynch's new music and tron are awesome. We're so far away from the "Celtic Invasion" version of Lynch that this is a much better presentation for The Man. 2. Michael Cole announced that Gunther suffered an orbital bone injury in his match at SummerSlam against CM Punk. Work or not, this is a good thing for The Ring General, who desperately needs a reset after a topsy-turvy 2025. 3. Adam Pearce does a really great job in the on-screen GM role. He got some of the biggest pops on Monday night. 4. Whoever is running WWE's social media account must be a Tekken fan. I personally would have went the Mortal Kombat route and made a Kung Lao joke, but we're simpatico. 5. The Reed shoe thing is weird now. It was cool when he did it the first time and it inspired two awesome puns (Tribal Thief and Shoe-la Fala), but the loss to Reigns and Uso at SummerSlam takes away from it for me. 👑 A really strong showing for the 'Raw after SummerSlam.' I give this show a Crown score of: 9/10. 👑
