San Francisco traded Tyler Rogers, a leading bullpen pitcher, to the New York Mets on the 31st (Korea time). Instead, he received right-hander bullpen Jose Bhutto from the Mets, right-hander Blade Tidwell and outfielder Drew Gilbert as prospects.
Rodgers, a 34-year-old veteran, was a key setup man for San Francisco who pitched 50 innings in 53 games this season, going 4-3 with 20 holds and a 1.80 ERA. Rogers, a rare underhander in the Major League, made his debut in San Francisco in 2019 and has been a setup man, marking a career of 142 holds, 19 saves, and a 2.79 ERA. It's a 'special submarine'.
Bhutto, who was recruited by San Francisco, is a rookie setup man who was born in August 2002 and has 3 wins and 2 losses, 3 holds, 1 save and an ERA of 3.64 in 34 games this season. Since his debut in 2022, he has thrown 167 innings in 74 games (15 starts) to mark 11-9, 6 holds, 4 saves, and an ERA of 3.45. It is a resource that San Francisco can use as a starter in the future.

Even so, it is hard to say that San Francisco still made such a trade with the playoffs in mind.
San Francisco lost 1-2 in the 10th inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Oracle Park on the same day, finally breaking the winning rate of 50% with 54 wins and 55 losses. San Francisco, which has recently lost six consecutive games against the New York Mets and Pittsburgh, the league's weakest team, is third in the NL West and sixth in the wild card, and the San Diego Padres, who are third in the wild card, have six games to ride. San Francisco's probability of advancing to the playoffs, calculated by FanGraphs, fell from 16.4% the day before to 12.5% on the same day. It's an autumn baseball abandonment mode.
As the team continued its downward trend, Lee Jung-hoo also remained hitless for two consecutive days.
Lee Jung-hoo, who played as the sixth center fielder, had no hits in four at-bats. Lee Jung-hoo, who remained silent with no hits in seven consecutive at-bats following no hits in three at-bats the previous day, had a batting average of 0.248 (96 hits in 387 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.710, respectively.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the second batter's box with two outs and runners on the first and third bases after San Francisco scored the first run with Dominic Smith's right-handed hit with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, was disappointed. On the two-strike, he pushed a slider in the middle of Burrows' third pitch of 86.3 miles for a line drive that flew at 89.8 miles, but left fielder Jack Swinsky came forward and caught it with a diving catch. Statcast calculated the batting's probability of hitting 0.850. In other words, Swinsky's quick judgment and accurate catch stood out.
Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a fly to center field after one out in the seventh inning when the score was tied at 1-1, and was also out with a fly ball to left field in the last at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the ninth inning when the balance of 1-1 continued.
San Francisco gave a run in the top of the 10th inning and then attacked Lee Jung-hoo at second base in the bottom of the 10th inning, but eventually failed to call in. As the lead Casey Schmidt hit the left side high, Swinsky lost the drop point and missed it, making a hit with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. Mike Yastremski then made a sacrifice bunt to the third base to create a chance with one out and runners on the second and third bases, but the game ended as Patrick Bailey and Elliott Ramos struck out consecutively.
