Tigers trade catcher Jake Rogers to Orioles for Zane Barnhart
Summary

The Detroit Tigers traded catcher Jake Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles on July 30, 2026, in exchange for minor-league pitcher Zane Barnhart. This move follows Rogers being designated for assignment just two days earlier to make room for Javier Báez. Barnhart, a product of Hillsdale College, will report to Double-A Erie after posting a 4.05 ERA in 40 innings this season. Rogers struggled offensively in 2026, leading to his departure after six seasons with the Tigers, during which he saw significant playing time despite a decline in performance.
