2024 Fantasy Outlook
Raley dealt with a low-grade hamstring strain during camp, but made it back for Opening Day to serve as the top lefty out of the Mets bullpen. The 35-year-old saw plenty of high-leverage work, recording three saves and a career-high 25 holds (10th in the majors) across 66 appearances, which were also a career-high. He continued to limit hard contact, as his 85.8 mph average exit velocity allowed and 29.2 hard-hit percentage were among the best in the league. Raley was particularly tough on right-handed hitters last season, holding them to a mere .189 batting average. His walk rate spiked to 10.6 percent, which attributed to an inflated 1.26 WHIP, but Raley is highly capable of working with traffic on the base paths while striking out hitters at an above-average 25.8 percent clip. He is once again slated for setup duties in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Moves to 60-day IL
The Mets transferred Raley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
One month ago, Raley underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery with an internal brace augmentation, so his move to the 60-day IL was merely procedural. As a result of the transaction, the Mets were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Matt Festa, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's game against the Astros.

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.

ANALYSIS
The Mets would need to receive a solid return for Raley in order to consider dealing him, as he's making just $4.5 million and has an affordable $6.5 million team option for 2024. While he's a Met, Raley figures to be in the closing mix with Adam Ottavino after David Robertson was dealt to Miami.
