Reports: Twins Signing LHP Taylor Rogers on 1-Year Deal

On Thursday, the Minnesota Twins agreed to sign free agent left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers to a one-year contract, pending a physical and reuniting him with the franchise that drafted him in 2012.
With a bullpen depleted at last July's trade deadline, the Minnesota Twins face an offseason need for reinforcements as pitchers and catchers report and TwinsFest begins.
Career totals show that Taylor Rogers has appeared in 566 major-league games with a 3.34 ERA, underscoring his long résumé, despite struggles in 17 games for the Cubs last season, posting a 5.09 ERA.
If he passes his physical, Taylor Rogers could immediately compete for high-leverage lefty innings or the closer role, with Kody Funderburk as an early internal competitor, while providing veteran bullpen depth.
In broader context, the Twins added Taylor Rogers late in the offseason as his twin brother Tyler Rogers signed with the Toronto Blue Jays in December, closing free-agent market moves.
