The slumping San Francisco Giants have traded their longest-tenured player, veteran reliever Tyler Rogers, to the New York Mets a day before the Major League Baseball trade deadline.

The manner of Tuesday night's loss represented a breaking point for Buster Posey and the front office heading into Wednesday.

Though he warmed up twice in the bullpen yesterday, the game narrative never brought Rogers to the hill. But given a slim 5-4 lead in the bottom of the 4th inning, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza got to work lining up his new collection of arms.
