The New York Mets may consider trading 38-year-old reliever Brooks Raley, who has a 2.23 ERA this season. Raley could be an asset for teams needing a left-handed pitcher to face tough hitters like Shohei Ohtani and Bryce Harper. His left-handed opponents have a.188 batting average against him in 2026, contributing to his value as a potential trade piece. Sources indicate Raley may not garner significant returns due to his age and contract status, but trading him would provide the Mets with options moving forward ahead of the trade deadline.
