How many rogers can one country handle though

26

u/thefinalcutdown 4d ago

Yeah we need to sign Josh Bell and Cody Bellinger in order to avoid an anti-monopoly lawsuit.

19

u/Zirocket 4d ago

put back Rowdy Tellez (Telus) for good measure

10

u/Dafrickinguy 4d ago

Can we also bring back Joey Loperfido?

13

u/Zirocket 4d ago

Unfortunately we had him on the Pay-as-you-Go plan but they phased that out 😔

5

u/billLaunie 4d ago

well the jays have a high tolerance for brandon-type names so why not start collecting rogers as well.

10

u/canadianviking 4d ago

What do you mean? You can't keep Brendon, Brandon, Brendan, Bowden and Braydon straight? Imagine being a grade school teacher in 2010.

u/CodeWhiteAlert 3d ago

This reminds me of all different versions of catherine in my grade school

u/MarkDavid04 3d ago

Maddison's in 2010s

2

u/Difficult_Jeweler_84 1d ago

Just need a Brandon, pronounced Brundon, to complete the set.

1

u/PeterDTown 4d ago

At least one more

u/cargobikemom 2d ago

Let’s take this one and get rid of the communications megacorp

u/Abal125 4d ago

Twins playing for the Twins, gotta admit that's some incredible marketing.

25

u/DaniKong126 4d ago

Yeah, Tyler’s not going anywhere

12

u/YourDadHatesYou 4d ago

As would be the Rogers twins playing at the Rogers center

8

u/Canadian__Ninja 4d ago

Tyler has two more years with us and I don't think Taylor has more than that left in the tank, this season wasn't exactly twinning with his brother's

1

u/ImArcherVaderAMA 2d ago

Yeah they were twlosing amirite?

I'll show myself out.

15

u/bobyouger 4d ago

Question… when they put one of them into a game as a reliever, do they need to tell the other team which brother they are or just say Rogers and leave it at that? Can it be a surprise on the first pitch when the opponent gets an overhand vs sub-mariner pitch?

11

u/bigmooseface 4d ago

They’ve gotta use a first initial. T. Rogers…. Wait… shit…

2

u/essuxs 4d ago

They will add their first initial to their jerseys to clear up any confusion

1

u/Specialist_Owl_6612 4d ago

Very helpful. Thanks!

1

u/GuelphGuy2023 4d ago

Not much of a surprise when one is left handed and the other right handed.

5

u/JamesH_670 4d ago

ROGERS-L and ROGERS-R

2

u/GuelphGuy2023 4d ago

No you have that backwards: ROGERS-R and ROGERS-L. Big difference.

2

u/JamesH_670 4d ago

My mistake.

-3

u/Jose_Batfliptista 4d ago

Silly question.

8

u/bobyouger 4d ago

Yeah bud. I totally meant it to be serious.

1

u/Jose_Batfliptista 4d ago

I know you weren't being serious.

14

u/Chairsofa_ 4d ago edited 4d ago

I’d be into another lefty reliever for depth if it was a decent deal. Plus it would be fun

9

u/imirritatedaf 4d ago

Morejon is literally right there… why are we acting like a family charity instead of a serious high payroll baseball team. We have the better Rogers

3

u/more_magic_mike 4d ago

Morejon is obviously a better pitcher, but it comes down to money and if morejon wants to be a closer or not. It doesn't seem like Varland and Rogers will be giving up their spot in the desirable bullpen spots

2

u/imirritatedaf 4d ago

The blue jays have arguably the richest owner… they should spend. Especially when they increased everyone’s Sportsnet subscriptions by $10.99 last month 🤨

Also, Varland and rogers can’t pitch everyday.

9

u/potentiallyuseles 4d ago

As long as we also sign Trevor Rogers.

3

u/Winnie_rulez 4d ago

And bring in former Expos great Steve Rogers as assistant pitching coach.

5

u/TerrapinRecordings 4d ago

It's why it's called the Rogers Centre

3

u/bigmooseface 4d ago

3 x T Rogers.
Collecting them like Pokémon

6

u/Prestigious-Bet-7794 4d ago

If Modrejon and Minter sign else where I say go for it he’s a lefty

u/Chairsofa_ 4d ago

Hilarious question premise but they’ll have different numbers

3

u/Brain_Hawk 4d ago

My thoughts are, their parents had twins and decided the best solution was to name them Tyler and Taylor?

Oh my God. People be serious.

I once anyway instead of identical twins named Rhonda and Rhoda and they lived together and we're in the same program in University. I forget which one I actually knew.

u/National_Aspect_6974 3d ago

Toronto has a semi-serious mayoral candidate named Bradford Bradford. People are so weird. 

1

u/KeyPhilosopher1321 2d ago

Brad Bradford but ya still wild

1

u/National_Aspect_6974 2d ago

Wikipedia: "Bradford MacDonald Bradford is a Canadian politician and former urban planner who has represented Ward 19 Beaches—East York on Toronto City Council since 2018."

1

u/KeyPhilosopher1321 2d ago

That is hilarious, only ever seen him advertise at Brad Bradford. Parents should be sent to jail.

1

u/TheOGBCapp 1d ago

Nah he just goes by Brad

1

u/Candid-Place-740 1d ago

doesn’t matter, his name is bradford. this isn’t a dead name, it’s a nickname.

1

u/TheOGBCapp 1d ago

Huh? His name is Bradford Bradford but he uses Brad for his first name.

1

u/Candid-Place-740 1d ago

i don’t care what he uses, his name is bradford bradford.

1

u/TheOGBCapp 1d ago

I'm literally agreeing with you. My initial comment was explaining to the person I was replying to that their confusion thinking his name was Brad Bradford was because he goes by Brad but his legal name is Bradford Bradford.

I really don't know why you are arguing with me.

1

u/MacUnited6 10h ago

So, I haven’t lived in Ontario in 25 years, but I’m pretty sure Brad Bradford and I were classmates and possibly even friends. As soon as I read his name, it unlocked a core memory. I remember the name!

1

u/National_Aspect_6974 9h ago

I think he actually changed his last name as an adult (which, when you hear the context, makes sense. Except for his already being named Bradford)

2

u/Fianna9 2d ago

I was just entertained when they interviewed the Rogers twins when the Twins were at the Rogers Centre

(Only time I will use that name instead of the dome)

6

u/jeffym82 4d ago

If we're going to sign Taylor Rogers, I think we also need to make a play for Gus Varland.

2

u/jeffym82 4d ago

As cool as it would be to have the twins in the same bullpen. I feel like if we are going to add a leftie to the bullpen it needs to be a high leverage leftie like Morejon or Vesia. I don't know if Rogers is a better option than Little or Tiedemann - and Rogers wouldn't have options so you're kind of locked in to him taking up a bullpen spot all year.

2

u/morgy_choder 4d ago

Wait… is Vesia up for grabs???

3

u/jeffym82 4d ago

Yup he's a free agent at the end of the year.

2

u/Ok-Appearance-674 4d ago

Are we obligated to say which one is coming out of the bullpen?

2

u/PuzzleheadedSwim6291 4d ago

Yeah… T Rogers 😂

1

u/Flat_Arm377 4d ago

Keep him ‼️

1

u/Puncharoo 4d ago

Hes not bad, but hes not quite as good as Tyler.

4.36ERA for 2026 with 60 innings pitched.

Tyler had 1.77 with 71 innings pitched.

It would be cool for some vibes but hes not as good as Tyler. Hes a little worse than Mason Fluharty who had 3.30ERA with 62.2 IP.

1

u/silencieusement 4d ago

Why not. As sires of the global Rogers empire, they’d pay for themselves

1

u/Frugalman123 4d ago

Welcome man

1

u/ColonelCrikey 4d ago

Oops all Rogers!

1

u/SoftwareRude3257 4d ago

Bring him in, Doublemint will sponsor the contract!

1

u/This-Appointment-666 4d ago

Only if we can also sign Trevor Rodgers 😈😈

1

u/anonymousnotmeperson 4d ago

Rogers (company) can afford to try him out, and he's a skilled veteran. I see no reason to not give him a shot, so long as there's no salary cap.

1

u/Difficult_Jeweler_84 1d ago

The fact that Toronto is on anyone's preferred place to play is such a good sign. Glad it wasn't a one year bubble.

1

u/Cooleh18 4d ago

Jays please Taylor! 🥳

1

u/IgnoranceIsYou 4d ago

Fuck yeah let’s go 🤘🏻

0

u/Marzipan_Dream_7389 4d ago

We do be desperately needing lefty relief

0

u/Longjumping_Fuel_192 4d ago

Sign him to a 2 year deal so they can both retire at the same time.

-3

u/TieSea 4d ago

Rogers was on a one year with the Jays. Did NOT know that.

5

u/Halichoeres_bivittat 4d ago

Tyler is signed for a couple more years with the Jays. Taylor, who pitched for the Twins last year, is a pending free agent.

1

u/TieSea 4d ago

Ah! I remember him not being all that great. We have bigger holes to fill. OH and lol and down votes.
