3 underrated moves to help push the Mariners into the playoffs

Tyler and Taylor Rogers, RPs (San Francisco Giants)

Okay I know that I am cheating here with two names, but this is my list, my rules. Why would I group them together? Well, they're twins! I still think it's cool that they both made it to the Majors, and they both ended up on the same team. Now, maybe they'll both be traded together to the Mariners. The Giants have already traded away one of their best hitters, signaling the tear down.

Tayler and Tyler maybe twins, but they couldn't be much more different pitchers if they wanted to be. Tyler is a slow-throwing submarine style right handed pitcher, while Taylor is a hard throwing left handed pitcher. Tyler's average fastball velocity sits right at 82 MPH, while his brother Taylor's fastball averages 93 MPH.

Tyler Rogers, the right handed twin, may throw one of the slowest fastballs in the game today, but he is still plenty effective. He currently leads the Majors in games pitched (54), and has only walked three batters over his 49.2 innings of work. three walks! That's it. He limits hard hits as well, as he has only given up six home runs this season. Tyler may not be flashy, but he has been one of the most consistent relief pitchers for some time now.

Taylor is much more of a flashy pitcher than his twin Tyler. Once a former All-Star with the Brewers, Taylor has turn into one of the games best high leverage left handed pitchers. Taylor is a two-pitch pitcher, tossing a sinker and a sweeper. He, like his twin brother, limits hard contact at a very high rate. He has given up just four home runs this season and strikes out batters at a 9.9 strikeout per nine inning clip.

Both twins are set to become free agents after the 2025 season. Tyler is entering his last year of arbitration, while Taylor is owed $12,000,000 in 2025. That is a steep price to pay for a bullpen arm, even with Taylor's track record. Jerry and co. have done a good job managing money, and making moves to free up money to acquire players.

Just because Taylor is making a lot of money doesn't mean the Giants are going to give him away, or his brother Tylere for that matter. The Mariners would have to give up a significant prospect haul to land just one of the twins, let alone both. I know I have said it would be awesome to see both traded at the same time, but in this case, both would pack a serious punch for a bullpen desperate for length.

As always, Go Mariners!
