Brooks Raley Stats

As expected, the New York Mets have exercised left-handed reliever Brook Raley's $6.5 million option for the 2024 season instead of buying him out for $1.25 million and making him a free agent. It was a no-brainer move for the Mets after Raley posted a strong 2.80 ERA (3.68 FIP) and 1.26 WHIP with three saves, 25 walks and 61 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings over a career-high 66 appearances out of the bullpen in his first year in New York in 2023. The 35-year-old southpaw should once again be attractive in fantasy leagues that reward points for holds next year as he serves as a late-inning bridge to closer Edwin Diaz, who will be returning after missing all of 2023 due to a knee injury he suffered in the World Baseball Classic in the spring.

He has made 46 appearances this season, racking up an impressive 2.37 ERA, 10.18 K/9, and 7.1 HR/FB%. Levine mentions the Cubs as a possible landing spot for the 35-year-old southpaw.

New York Mets relief pitcher Brooks Raley earned his second save of the season on Thursday, closing out a 2-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Raley allowed just a walk while striking out one in his inning of work. It is notable that he got the save tonight given the recent development of David Robertson being traded to the Miami Marlins. Manager Buck Showalter will likely use both Raley and Adam Ottavino in save situations depending on the matchup, with Raley getting lefty-heavy situations and Ottavino taking righties. Raley is worth a pickup in deeper leagues where saves are important.
