Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley predicts the Blue Jays will sign Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers to a four-year deal this offseason; he says a nine-figure contract could be realistic. Rogers had a 4.03 ERA and 10-11 record in 30 starts this season.
Buckley argues Toronto could use a left-hander because, according to the article, its current rotation options are all right-handed. The team also has Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage and Jose Soriano; Cody Ponce is expected back after an early season-ending injury, with Bowden Francis and Jose Berrios among the depth options.
Rogers had a much stronger season one year earlier, posting a 1.81 ERA, 9-3 record and 5.3 bWAR in 18 starts for Baltimore. The article describes him as a high-variance starter.
