2023 Fantasy Outlook
Raley doesn't throw hard - he averages only 90.7 mph on his sinker - but continues to be one of the best in the league at limiting hard contact. The southpaw was one of Tampa Bay's most trusted relievers last season, tallying six saves and 22 holds while posting a 2.68 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 61:15 K:BB over a career-high 53.2 innings (60 appearances). He threw more sliders, sinkers and changeups with great success, relying less on his cutter that hasn't been effective in recent seasons. The 34-year-old only allowed three home runs all season for a career-best 0.5 HR/9, but that rate may be due for some regression since he's posted a 1.1 HR/9 or higher in every other season. Raley was traded to the Mets in December, where he immediately slots in as the top lefty in front of Edwin Diaz. Read Past Outlooks

ADP
Shipped to Mets
The Mets acquired Raley from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Keyshawn Askew, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Aside from All-Star closer Edwin Diaz, the Mets were lacking in reliable setup options last season, and the team's relief depth became further tested earlier this winter when all of Seth Lugo, Trevor May, Joely Rodriguez and Adam Ottavino became free agents. The addition of Raley thus addresses a major need, as he'll give the Mets a proven left-handed arm to slot in front of Diaz in the late innings. Raley covered 53.2 frames for Tampa Bay in 2022, collecting one win, six saves and 22 holds while pitching to a 2.68 ERA and 0.97 WHIP.

2013
Raley has had a winding career path, as he struggled mightily in an initial stint in the majors, which came all the way back in 2012. In an increasingly familiar story, he signed in the KBO and resurrected his career across five seasons with the Lotte Giants. Now entering his third season of his second stint in the majors, Raley joined the Rays in the offseason and figures to serve a meaningful role in the team's bullpen. That possibility became even greater after Nick Anderson and Pete Fairbanks - both high-leverage arms - were placed on the 60-day injured list on Opening Day. Originally a starter, Raley's stuff has played up out of the bullpen since his return to the league, as he's posted a strikeout rate above 30 percent - and that mark spiked to 37 percent in 2021 - in each of the last three seasons. Home runs are the primary remaining blemish on his profile, as he's surrendered nine home runs in only 69 innings of work (1.2 HR/9) across his last two seasons. If he can keep the ball in the yard effectively, he could factor into the saves picture in Tampa Bay, though he'd likely fall behind at least Andrew Kittredge in terms of securing a high-leverage role.
