The Phillies pulled off a surprise trade with the Mets, acquiring veteran lefty reliever Brooks Raley to instantly upgrade their struggling bullpen. In exchange, they sent pitchers Luke Gabrysh and outfielder John Spikerman to New York. While Raley is 38 and set to become a free agent, his dominant performance this season makes him a perfect short-term fix for Philly’s bullpen woes — especially with Alvarado and Banks underperforming. The Mets, needing to shed salary and avoid holding onto a soon-to-be-free-agent, got a fair deal. This divisional swap proves the Phillies are serious about winning now, even if it means trading with rivals.
