Impact Rumors swirled late Wednesday that the Padres were working to acquire Rogers, and after trade talks continued into Thursday, the two sides came to an agreement on a deal. Rogers is likely to step in as San Diego's closer, though he may have a shorter leash on the role than he enjoyed in Minnesota, given the high-quality alternatives that exist in the Padres' bullpen. That said, Rogers has generally been reliable when his number has been called the past three seasons, as he's converted 48 of 60 save opportunities during that span while accruing a 3.06 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. He looks like a fairly safe No. 1 or 2 closer for most fantasy squads.

Avoids arbitration with Twins Rogers agreed to a one-year, $7.3 million contract with the Twins on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rogers made $6 million in 2021 and will receive a modest raise in his final year of arbitration eligibility. The left-hander recorded nine saves and eight holds last season with a 3.35 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 59:8 K:BB over 40.1 innings and is the favorite to work as Minnesota's primary closer in 2022, but his upside is limited given manager Rocco Baldelli's non-traditional approach for save situations.

Looks sharp in first spring outing Rogers said he felt great physically after his first spring outing Sunday, where he struck out all three batters he faced, The Athletic reports. It was his first outing since last...

Impact Rogers returned to his elite reliever form last season, showing his 2020 decline was more cosmetic than any loss of skills (his 4.05 ERA in 2020 was driven by a poor .404 BAPIP). However, his season was cut short in July by a season-ending left middle finger sprain. With the departure of Alex Colome, Rogers should emerge as Minnesota's primary closer, but his upside for saves may be limited given that manager Rocco Baldelli has ignored traditional closer patterns.
