Minnesota Twins Reunite With Taylor Rogers

The Minnesota Twins have made a move after having a pretty quiet MLB offseason. The Twins have brought back former pitcher Taylor Rogers to bolster their bullpen. Rogers posted a 3.41 ERA with a 3-2 record for two teams last season.

Rogers agreed to a one-year, two-million-dollar contract and will play a crucial role for the Twins. Minnesota is still far from making the playoffs, and they need more than just one reliever to help them win.

Rogers’ strikeout rate is just above average at 24 percent. It’s not a big move for the Twins, and they don’t have plenty of options left.
