Recently traded Marlins pitcher shows his true colors

At the Trade Deadline, the Miami Marlins traded SP Trevor Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles. This trade graded out really well for The Fish. It seemed to have worked out well for Rogers as well, who went from pitching in a lost season to being part of a contending team. Apparently he still finds himself disgruntled, and as a result made some outrageous comments.

Trevor Rogers is petty over being traded from the Miami Marlins.

The Miami Marlins did well by Trevor Rogers, sticking by him despite his constant injuries and middling performances. The once promising stud pitcher who delivered a 2.64 ERA/2.55 FIP, with 10.6 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 25 games and 133.0 innings pitched. Things were of course never the same for Trevor afterwards...

Over the subsequent 2022 to 2023 seasons, Rogers pitched to a 5.26 ERA/4.32 FIP, with 9.0 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 27 games and 125.0 innings pitched. He basically fell off and this came with a lowered fastball velocity and a general decline in the sharpness of his stuff.

The Fish didn't give up on Rogers and even let him pitch this season, with him this time delivering a poor 4.53 ERA/4.43 FIP, with 7.3 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9, in 21 games and 105.1 innings pitched. After somehow getting a haul for him, he's currently at a 10.38 ERA/6.86 FIP, with 6.2 K/9 and 6.2 BB/9 in a sole start and 4.1 innings pitched. It was just one start so far, but it certainly hasn't been very promising.

The best part has been Trevor's comments... he claims that the Baltimore Orioles basically have a better pitching development system, as he supposedly received "better analytical and mechanical" support. That's funny, considering Baltimore has had issues with their starting pitching while The Fish just had Sandy Alcantara win the NL Cy Young award not that long ago; Eury Perez is one of the brightest young arms in the game; Jesus Luzardo resurrected his career with the Miami Marlins prior to his injury-filled 2024.

What does Baltimore do? Well they acquired an ace in his contract year, but their best home-grown arm is Grayson Rodriguez. A good pitcher, not yet an ace.
