The Mets and Tyler Rogers will not be reunited after the right-hander agreed to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to multiple reports.

New York was interested in re-signing Rogers after he left for free agency this offseason, but he agreed to a reported three-year, $37 million contract, with a vesting option that would take his contract to $48 million, to play for the defending American League champs.

Rogers, 34, pitched well for the Mets after being acquired from the Giants at the trade deadline.

In 27.1 innings across 28 games, Rogers had a 2.30 ERA (3.32 FIP) and 1.09 WHIP.

With Rogers off the board, the Mets will look elsewhere to try and shore up their bullpen behind closer Devin Williams.
