The New York Mets came into the 2026 season with a very talented roster.

That said, they failed to make the MLB playoffs for the second straight season.

With the Mets far from playoff contention, they made a lot of trades during the middle of the year.

One of the moves involved sending Brooks Raley to the Philadelphia Phillies.

MLB.com wrote (on August 3): “New York Mets traded LHP Brooks Raley to Philadelphia Phillies for OF John Spikerman and RHP Luke Gabrysh.”

Raley is now a free agent.

MLB.com wrote (on October 29): “LHP Brooks Raley elected free agency.”

It’s been reported that the Mets have a level of interest in bringing Raley back for the 2027 season.

Chelsea Janes of SNY wrote (on November 11): “Mets have checked in with Brooks Raley, according to a person familiar with the situation. Other teams interested, but makes sense to explore for New York given they need to rebuild and his success there.”
