The Mets acquired left-handed pitcher Brooks Raley from the Rays on Wednesday, as reported by Jon Heyman of The Post.
In 60 appearances, the 34-year-old, a sixth-round pick by the Cubs in 2009, produced a 2.50 ERA, a 1-1 record, and six saves. In 53 2/3 innings, he tallied 61 strikeouts with a WHIP of 0.97.
After holding southpaws to a.155 batting average and a.482 OPS last season, he will provide the Mets with a weapon to deploy against left-handed hitters.
