I think they saw:

Left Handed

Affordable salary and prospect cost

Additional team control past this season.

And that was enough.

They forgot the most important thing:

Can pitch well

26 bases runners in 13 innings for Rogers in his 3 starts.

That is not ideal, is it?

Put him in the pen. He can probably get it up to 94 /s

It’s a dumb move to try and fix somebody whose stuff is just bad in the middle of a playoff chase. 

Was a dumb move to try and fix Fuji during the playoff chase and he had great stuff.

Now isn't the time to be trying to fix guys from other teams.

100%

This is another case of Elias thinking he's smarter than everyone else.

Still down 2 and with Rogers pitching it could be more soon.

DC has 4 hard hit balls all night…2 by wood and staying away from his power.  All 4 are singles. 
 

Rogers has had some bad luck but there is also the issue of not missing bats and getting Ks. It’s so important.

He’s also been lucky that Ruiz center cut batting practice fastball wasn’t hit to DC.

He is Cole Irvin 2.0.  They just paid a lot more. 

Sounds like Irvin's stuff is better.  We get to look forward to 2 more years of this.

I do think Elias will cut bait if it comes to that.

[Wavetrapper]

Hyde has a pitch count 

Does he have a run count or a baserunner count?

[gtman55]

Send Rogers to AAA with a hangnail or something and bring up Irvin at this point. Couldn't be worse.

Was any other team making a bid for Rogers at the break?
