The New York Mets never stop shopping. Whether it\u2019s the dog days of summer or the quiet hum of the off-season, they\u2019re constantly looking for ways to upgrade the roster.<\/p>\n

That mindset led them back to a familiar face: Brooks Raley.<\/p>\n

Reunion with a Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On Friday, insider Joel Sherman broke the news that the Mets are re-signing Raley to a one-year deal, with a team option tacked on for 2026.<\/p>\n

Per @Joelsherman1, the Mets are re-signing Brooks Raley to a one-year deal with a team option for 2026.<\/p>\n

Raley has a 2.68 ERA for the Mets in 61.2 innings pitched in 2023 & 2024, before undergoing Tommy John surgery last May.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a sentimental reunion. It\u2019s a calculated move with upside. Before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2024, Raley was one of the most reliable arms in the Mets\u2019 bullpen, posting a combined 2.48 ERA over 61.2 innings between the 2023 and early 2024 seasons.<\/p>\n

Imagine a trusted Swiss Army knife\u2014compact, dependable, and always ready when needed. That\u2019s been Raley for the Mets.<\/p>\n

Scouting and Rehab Progress<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just last week, Raley held a bullpen session in front of scouts from 13 different teams. So, yeah, the Mets weren\u2019t the only ones interested in where he stands. Apparently, they liked what they saw.<\/p>\n

His doctors are projecting rehab games to start in June, and since he\u2019s a reliever\u2014who doesn\u2019t need to stretch out like a starter\u2014he could be ready to return before the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not far off, and the timing could be perfect.<\/p>\n

Recent Track Record Still Shines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Though his career ERA sits at 4.04, Raley\u2019s recent stretch has been far more impressive. In 2022 and 2023, he finished with a 2.68 and 2.80 ERA, respectively\u2014numbers that slot in neatly alongside the league\u2019s best setup men.<\/p>\n

And before his injury in 2024? A flawless seven innings, not a single earned run. Then his elbow waved the white flag.<\/p>\n

Bringing him back is like finding that one missing puzzle piece under the couch\u2014still fits, still matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
